More on Houles in Clinton County, NY

2011-12-28T07:33:00.000-08:00

From Genforum:

Joseph Houle (b. abt. 1834) was brother to my gg-gf Jean-Baptiste Houle (b. abt 1825). They were sons of Jean-Baptiste Houle (b. abt 1800). Their mother was Angelique/Judith Chenade/L'herot.
For a marriage date for Joseph & Sophie see the book "Marriages at St. Chrysostome."
Joseph Houle, fils (son) de J.B. et Judith
Shnad md. Sophie Desgroselliers on Aug. 2,
1864.
The mother's name is very difficult to pin down.

Here is what is found in the 1850 Clinton Co. NY census record. "Wool" is just one of several phonetic misspellings of HOULE that are found in Clinton Co. New York census returns.

John Wool age 50, no profession, b. in
Canada, cannot read & write
Julia 45, b. in Canada, cannot read & write
Angelique 23, b. in Canada, cannot r&w
Henry 21, laborer, b. in Canada, cannot r&w
Flavia 20, female, b. in Canada, cannot r&w (French variant of Phoebe)
Tuffield 18, male, b. in Canada (presumably a corruption of Theophile)
Joseph 16, b. in Canada
Aurilla 14, female, b. in Canada
Amab 12, male, b. in Canada
Napoleon 9, b. in Canada

It is not yet clear to me if this Julia is another corruption of Angelique/Judith and she is the mother of all J.B.'s children or if Julia is a second wife to J.B. The reference is Mooers, Clinton Co. NY, family no. 2348, p. 407A.

I think Sophia Prosper/Desgroselliers was the daughter of Gabriel Desgroselliers & Sophie Rivard.

The 1870 census record for Joseph & Sophie is:
Heoul, Joseph age 36, farmer, $200 in real estate,$100 personal estate, born in Canada, father was foreign born, cannot read & write
Sopie 29, keeps house, b. in Canada, parents
foreign born, cannot r&w
Joseph 5, b. in NY, parents foreign born
Are 4, b. in NY, parents foreign born
Dolphise 3, b. in NY, parents foreign born
John 1, b. in NY, parents foreign born
The reference is Mooers, Clinton Co. NY, p. 89, written p. 392, family no. 663.]

Hello "Houle" researchers,

In trying to root out information on my family, I often try the families of the siblings to my ancester. This may be of interest to some of you:

From the Parish index of St. Phillipe, La Prairie, Quebec (avail. through LDS microfilm)

Jean Baptiste Houle
married:
Judith Schneider
on November 25,1822 in St. Phillipe parish, of La Prairie, Quebec.
I believe that the Schneiders had connections in upstate New York. They may have lived there or had relatives there. I have parents, grandparents, and siblings for Judith. It sounds like a very likely match to Schnad/Chenad in your research. Please let me know if it is. Thanks!

Joseph Houl 1 b. 1859 Canada

and then here is Henry in 1880:

So, this is probably Honore, Sr. (Henry) in 1850:

Amable Houle 22
b. 1838 Can
Paul Houle 19
b. 1841 Can

I may have finally found baptisms for some of these kids from Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 :
Joseph Houlle, b. 17 Apr 1834 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste & Judith Choreder?
-godparents- Joseph Bissonet & Marguerite Robert

Aurelie Houlle, b. 29 Feb 1836 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, daughter of Jean & Angelique Chenaut?
-godparents- Ignace Houlle & Marie Anne ?

Amable Houlle, b. 23 Feb 1838 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Chenalde?
-godparents- Amable Gagne & Marguerite Boyer

Napoleon Houlle, b. 21 Apr 1841 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Chenider

-godparents- Barthlemi Pinel & Charlotte & Charlotte Marstelle
This is the most legible parish record so far, so I'm more confident that Judith's last name is Chenider.

Here is a possible marriage for you:
Jean-Baptiste Houle (Jean & Marie Dissonnet?) m. 25 Nov 1822 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec Judith Schneider (Jean-Baptiste & Marguerite Riel)
I found more children for them in St-Philippe:
Henri Houl, b. 22 Dec 1828 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Schneider.
-godparents- Henri Schneider & Marie Bizaillon. This could be your Henry.

This is probably the next marriage in the line: Jean-Baptiste Houle, age 25 (Joseph & Angelique Bauche) m. 11 Sep 1797 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec Marie Louise Bisonnette, age 20 (Joseph & Charlotte Chaquete) They had a son, Jean-Baptiste Houle, b. 7 Dec 1798 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste & Marie Louise Bisonnet -godparents- Joseph Bissonnet & Charlotte Choquet, his wife.
Often the grandparents were the godparents of the first born child.

My Father who has passed away did mentionsome of the names you listed, they were Joseph, Arthur andAlbert, but I don't remember any others.

More possibilities on Jean Baptiste Houle's Wife?

2011-10-16T05:24:00.000-07:00

Est-ce que qq'un du groupe pourrait transcrire en anglais , moi c'est impossible.

Sendeder ressemble à Scheinder donc j'ai trouvé:
Jean-Baptiste Houl ( feu Jean et Marie Bissonette)
JUDITH Scheinder ( Jean-Baptiste Scheinder et Marguerite Riel )
le 25-11-1822 St-Philippe,Laprairie.
source Ancestry, page 176
----------
On m'a souvent dit que Honore était souvent Henry, donc ce couple a eu un fils Henry le 23-12-1828 St-Philippe,Laprairie
source Ancestry, page 204

J'ai gardé les 2 actes ,s'il est intéressé.
alors qui fait la transcription.

Francine Germain
fgermagny@videotron.ca

Sended like Scheinder so I found:
Jean-Baptiste Houle (late John and Mary Bissonette)
JUDITH Scheinder (Jean-Baptiste and Marguerite Riel Scheinder)
on 25-11-1822 St-Philippe, Laprairie.
source Ancestry, page 176

We have the mariage of Honoré HOULE et Félicité MIRON on January 6 1852 at Cooperville, New York. He is the son of Jean-Baptiste HOULE & Angélique CHENADE.

How can we translate CHENADE in french. This name does not exist?

In Reply to: Batise/Jean-Baptiste Houl mrd. Marie Rabideau by Nancy of 871

Nancy,
Jean-Baptiste Houle & Marie Robidoux are also my g-g-grandparents. Jean-Baptiste married Marie on October 25, 1849 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cooperville, Clinton Co. NY. Marie was the widow of Francois-Xavier Jodoin.

His parents were Jean-Baptiste Houle & Angelique (or Judith)? Chenade(?). Her parents were Antoine Robidoux & Marie Pinsonneau.

In the 1850, 1860, 1870 & 1880 censuses they are found in Mooers Forks, Clinton Co. NY. Records are difficult to decipher probably due to the difficulty for American census takers to accurately understand the French-Canadian names. “Houle” is spelled many different ways in various records.

Some time between 1880 and 1888, the family moved to Elmwood Township, Tuscola County, Michigan near the village of Gagetown. I think Jean-Baptiste died October 14, 1888. Marie died June 27, 1895 in Tuscola County MI.

By the time they are in Michigan, the family name stabilized with the anglicized spelling of “Hool.” You may email me directly at pjharrington@kconline.com if you need more details.

Regards,
Patrick Harrington

Joseph Houl 1 b. 1859 Canada

and then here is Henry in 1880:

1880 United States Federal Census about Henery Hool

Home in 1880: Altona, Clinton, New York
Age: 27
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1853

Albert Hool 2m b. 1880 NY

So, this is probably Honore, Sr. (Henry) in 1850:

1850 United States Federal Census about Henry Wool

And here is the family in 1860:

1860 United States Federal Census about Amable Houle

Joseph Houle 26 b. 1834 Can
Amable Houle 22 b. 1838 Can
Paul Houle 19 b. 1841 Can

I may have finally found baptisms for some of these kids from Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 :

Joseph Houlle, b. 17 Apr 1834 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste & Judith Choreder? -godparents- Joseph Bissonet & Marguerite Robert

Aurelie Houlle, b. 29 Feb 1836 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, daughter of Jean & Angelique Chenaut? -godparents- Ignace Houlle & Marie Anne ?

Amable Houlle, b. 23 Feb 1838 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Chenalde? -godparents- Amable Gagne & Marguerite Boyer

Napoleon Houlle, b. 21 Apr 1841 St-Ã‰douard (Napierville County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Chenider -godparents- Barthlemi Pinel & Charlotte & Charlotte Marstelle -- This is the most legible parish record so far, so I'm more confident that Judith's last name is Chenider.

Here is a possible marriage for you:

Jean-Baptiste Houle (Jean & Marie Dissonnet?)
m. 25 Nov 1822 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec
Judith Schneider (Jean-Baptiste & Marguerite Riel)

I found more children for them in St-Philippe:

Henri Houl, b. 22 Dec 1828 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec, son of Jean & Judith Schneider. -godparents- Henri Schneider & Marie Bizaillon. This could be your Henry.

This is probably the next marriage in the line:

Jean-Baptiste Houle, age 25 (Joseph & Angelique Bauche)
m. 11 Sep 1797 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec
Marie Louise Bisonnette, age 20 (Joseph & Charlotte Chaquete)

They had a son, Jean-Baptiste Houle, b. 7 Dec 1798 St-Philippe (Laprairie County), Quebec, son of Jean-Baptiste & Marie Louise Bisonnet -godparents- Joseph Bissonnet & Charlotte Choquet, his wife. Often the grandparents were the godparents of the first born child.

Looking for info on JEAN BAPTISTE HOULE

2011-10-15T07:11:00.000-07:00

Desperately need help on Jean Baptiste Houle born about 1800 Quebec. He married an Angelique Sendeder? and they had a child Honore Houle born abt 1828 in Quebec and died 1874 in Clinton Co NY...Honore married Felicite Miron and they had a child Henery Houle born 1853 NY....Henery married Victoria Lazure and they had a child Franklin Houle born 1875 NY (Franklin is my 2nd great grandfather)...I don't have any documents proving the lineage from Henery up to Jean Baptiste or beyond...what I got is just from other trees and need verification. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jacques Archambault-my 10th Great Grandfather

2011-06-22T07:49:00.000-07:00

Jacques Archambault (c. 1604 – February 15, 1688) was a French colonist in Montreal. He was born in Dompierre-sur-Mer, where he was baptized.
Archambault married (around 1629) Françoise Tourault, with whom he had many children. All Archambaults (and descendants) now living in North America are his descendants, as no other Archambault ever emigrated from France.[1]
A plate in the back of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Montreal commemorates his digging the first water well, near what is now known as Place-d'Armes, on October 11, 1658, upon request by Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve.
Wikipedia Page

In 1647, Jacques rented a farm in Quebec. Between 1651 and 1653 his family seems to have alternated between Montreal and Quebec. The family was in Montreal during the terrible summer of 1651. Jacques barely escaped the massacre. Their son Denis was killed that summer by the cannon which he was getting ready for the third blow against the Iriquois. With his son-in-law Urban Tessier, Jacques Archambault was chosen among those to defend the stronghold known as "l'Enfant Jesus" in Montreal.

L'Immigrants' Francais Filles-Marie Francoise Chaveau Archambault (my 9th great grandmother)

2011-06-22T06:04:00.000-07:00

One of the bigest problems facing France's financial concerns in what has been called New France, was the expense of providing food and lodging to the employees of whomever happened to be the controlling interest at the time. When Cardinal Richelieu formed the Company of 100 Associates, he hoped to settle French families in and around the trading posts to not only be a source of food, but also strengthen their position in that area of Canada.

The founding families of the Kebec Habitation and others, did themselves have children, which helped to increase the French population; but it was still very small; with only about 1 French-Canadian to every 150 Native-Canadian. It was feared that if the situation stayed as it was, they would simply merge with the existing population, and France woulld lose their opportunity to reap large profits from the lucrative furtrade.

After Champlain's death, incentive programs were implemented, like the Filles Marier (Marriageable Young Girls) and Filles De Roi (King's Daughters); but before that time L'Immigrants' Francais Filles
(Daughters of French Immigrants), filled the gap. This portion of the site is dedicated to the young women who followed their families to a strange land; sometimes arriving as children; and growing up in a French Trading Post, but settling in a French Community, to become one of the Founding Mothers of New France.

Daughters of Immigrants
The Archambault Girls
There were four young Archambault girls who arrived in the Quebec Colony as L'Immigrants' Filles: Anne, Francoise, Jacquette and Marie. All were born in Dompierre-sur-Mer, Lardilliere, La Rochelle, Aunis, France; the daughters of Farmer and Wine Maker, Jacques Archambault and Les Meres D'Immgre; Francois Chaveau. All four girls became Founding Mothers of New France.

Hubert Ranger (my 8th great grandfather)

2011-06-20T06:39:00.000-07:00

Hubert Ranger dit Laviolette

Biographie d'un pionnier de la Nouvelle-France, soldat du détachement de la Marine, arrivé à Québec en 1683, puis devenu laboureur.

Hubert est l'ancêtre des familles RANGER du Québec.

Il a eu quatre garçons qui ont perpétué son patronyme: Pierre, Thomas, Joseph et Paul.
Une seule fille, Louise Angélique, a survécu de l'union d'Hubert avec Anne Girardin et elle est l'ancêtre d'une partie des familles SAUVE du Québec par son mariage avec Pierre Sauvé dit Laplante.
Le couple Ranger-Girardin a probablement eu au moins quatre, peut-être cinq autres enfants (3 ou 4 filles et un garçon) qui sont morts en bas âge ou qui n'ont pas eu de descendance.

Hubert Ranger serait arrivé à Québec en novembre 1683 sur la frégate Tempête, avec le premier arrivage des soldats des compagnies franches du détachement de la Marine. Il a ensuite passé l'hiver à Québec où il a été confirmé à Notre-Dame de Québec le 4 avril 1684.

Son mariage
Le registre de la paroisse des Saints-Anges de Lachine nous fournit d'autres informations pour déduire la suite des événements. Comme il était membre de la Compagnie du Sieur Guillaume De Lorimier, il a suivi son commandant que les documents historiques placent à Lachine à partir de 1685. A l'époque, il n'y avait pas de caserne pour les soldats qui devaient habiter chez les colons. Hubert aurait sans doute été hébergé par René Cuillerier qui possédait une demeure fortifiée à Lachine. Hubert a peut-être aussi été posté dans un des autres forts de Lachine (fort Rolland ou fort Rémy) jusqu'à son mariage avec Anne Girardin, le 30 juillet 1686, à Lachine.

Une permission du gouverneur Dennonville a été accordée au jeune couple soit parce qu'ils étaient mineurs (du moins Anne qui devait avoir 12 ou 13 ans), soit pour permettre au soldat Hubert de prendre épouse, alors que son contrat d'engagement (qui aurait dû être de 6 ans) n'était pas terminé. Une dispance du grand vicaire leur a également été accordée vu la non-publication des trois bans d'usage pour annoncer leur mariage lors de la messe dominicale, comme ce fut la coutume religieuse durant plusieurs années (même jusqu'au XXe siècle). Y avait-il une crainte que l'on s'oppose au dit mariage ?

La guerre iroquoise

Une petite note historique s'impose, car nous sommes à ce moment en pleine guerre iroquoise. En effet. depuis le départ du régiment de Carignan en 1668, la colonie avait connu une période de relative accalmie; mais, depuis 1680 environ, les hostilités avaient repris de plus belle. Sans doute poussés par les anglais qui leur fournissaient des armes, les iroquois attaquaient de plus en plus souvent les colons français, surtout lorsqu'ils se trouvaient au champ, sans défense. Le gouverneur de LaBarre avait demandé de l'aide militaire à la métropole et il du céder sa place au Sieur Denonville... Peu après, le roi confirma l'envoi des détachements de la Marine. Ces compagnies avaient été formées par le cardinal Richelieu pour mener sa guerre sainte contre les protestants.

Si Hubert a été protestant comme plusieurs habitants de Larochelle, il avait sans doute abjuré lors de son engagement, comme ce fut le cas pour un autre soldat du nom de Jean Ranger dit Lavallée, que certains auteurs considèrent comme son frère. A l'époque, on confirmait sans doute les soldats avant de les envoyer au combat. De plus, sa confirmation à Québec était également nécessaire pour pouvoir se marier. Ses intentions semblent dès lors assez claires, il voulait sans doute davantage s'établir comme colon que de servir comme soldat, vu son mariage dès 1686.

Activités agricoles et achat d'une terre

Dès 1690, Hubert s'est associé à Pierre Cardinal dans des activités agricoles. Ainsi, le 23 fev. 1690, le notaire Hilaire Bourgine au nom de René Cuillerier lui loue, pour six ans, ainsi qu'à Pierre Cardinal, deux terres à Lachine moyennant cent minots de blé, 20 minots de pois ou de blé d'Inde et 5 minots d'avoine par année. Puis le 2 avril 1690, il passe une convention (encore devant le notaire Bourgine) avec Pierre Cardinal. Ce dernier a 4 boeufs, un taureau et 2 vaches alors qu'il n'a pour sa part qu'un taureau. Il s'entendent que tous les animaux seront élevés ensemble à frais et profits communs. De plus, ils ensemenceront la moitié de la terre à frais communs et Cardinal conservera tous le blé récolté sauf 10 minots qu'il lui remettra.

Un fait important demeure: le 22 octobre 1695, soit neuf ans après son mariage, Hubert achète une terre de 4 arpents de front par 20 arpents de profondeur au prix de 65 livres. (située en la partie supérieure de l'Ile de Montréal) appartenant à Etienne Cardinal. Or, ce dernier est aveugle et s'est fait accompagner de sa mère, Michèle Garnier et de son beau-père, Jean Chevalier. Par le registre de Lachine, on sait aussi que deux enfants sont nés depuis son mariage (entre 1686 et 1695), soit une fille née et décédée en janvier 1691, dont René Cuillerier fut le parrain, puis un fils (Hubert jr.) baptisé le 20 janvier 1694, dont Gabriel Cardinal fut le parrain. Il semble que ce 2e enfant connu également une fin malheureuse, car il n'y a aucune trace de descendance. Sur ces deux actes de naissance (de meme que ceux de tous ses enfants baptisés par M. Remy), Hubert est indiqué comme étant "laboureur" et "habitant de cette paroisse" (

Or, Pierre, Gabriel et Etienne sont des fils de Simon Jean Cardinal, pionnier venu avec la recrue de 1659 et décédé en 1679. Il avait obtenu en 1665 une concession de terre située dans l'île de Montréal, sur le bord de la grande rivière et fleuve St Laurent; par la Société de Notre-Dame de Montréal, seigneur propriétaire de l'île de Montréal. Ses fils Simon et Etienne ont également obtenu des concessions en 1686. Simon Cardinal a reçu en concession en 1686 (selon Not. Pottier, 20 dec.1686) une terre, qui aurait été désignée par Désiré Girouard, comme étant le terrier 120 (cadastre 325) de la cote Ste-Anne, près de la mission St-Louis (aujourd'hui la Pointe-à-Caron de Baie-d'Urfé) et qu'on désignait alors comme étant "située en la partie supérieure de l'Ile de Montréal". Celle obtenue par Etienne en concession le 10 dec. 1686, selon le notaire Basset, correspondrait à la terre achetée par Hubert, en 1695. A noter également que Guillaume deNoyon, témoin au mariage d'Anne et Hubert, aurait reçu le lot voisin (121) en 1686 et les Ladouceurs (Joseph, beau-frère d'Hubert et Etienne) ont eu les lots 122 et 123.

Les faits historiques nous rappelent que la mission St-Louis a été attaquée en septembre 1687, faisant des morts parmi les colons et forçant la fuite de son missionnaire, le sulpicien François Lascaris D'Urfée. Plus tard, Lachine a subi la fameuse et sanglante attaque iroquoise en aout 1689 qui a contraint le gouverneur à ordonner aux colons de rester confinés dans les fortifications pour la nuit, abandonnant leurs maisons et ne sortant le jour que pour aller aux champs sous escorte armée. Cette guerre iroquoise dura au moins jusqu'à la fin du siècle. Ce n'est qu'en 1701 que la Grande Paix de Montréal apporta une trêve durable aux hostilités des iroquois. Où sont demeurés Hubert et sa petite famille durant cette période agitée ?

La difficile fondation d'une famille qui puisse survivre

Le 16 sept 1696 est baptisé à Lachine par Mr Remy, Pierre Ranger, 2e fils, mais considéré comme l'ainé de la famille et qui fut bedeau à la paroisse de Ste-Anne. Son parrain fut Pierre Tabau, qui avait épousé à Lachine en 1688, Marie Braban, la veuve de Jean De Lalonde, tué par les iroquois lors de l'attaque de la mission St-Louis en 1687. Des recherches archéologiques récentes ont situées cette mission à la Pointe-à-Caron, à Baie d'Urfée, où les descendants "Lalonde" y ont érigé un monument commémoratif.

Deux ans plus tard, presque jour pour jour, est baptisée le 15 sept. 1698, une fille nommée Marie Joseph, dont le parrain est Joseph Madeleine dit Ladouceur et la marraine, son épouse et soeur d'Anne, soit Catherine Girardin. Aucun autre document ne concerne cette enfant qui n'aurait pas eu de descendance, mais Tanguay l'a confondue avec une autre fille nommée également Marie-Josephe par Pierre Ranger-Dit-Paquet de Rivière-des-prairies. A noter que son parrain, Joseph Madeleine obtient la concession du lot 123, ainsi que du lot 122 avec son frère Etienne, en 1699. Leur père Vivier Madeleine (1641-1708, soldat de carignan) aurait eu le lot 119 en 1686 (source: Girouard).

Le 7 mars 1700, le notaire Adhémar indique qu'Hubert est habitant de Lachine, alors qu'il rédige une "Obligation portant solde de compte par Hubert Ranger dit Laviolette, habitant de Lachine, à catherine Teyssier, veuve de Vincent Dugast, de la ville de Villemarie, tutrice des enfants mineurs d'elle et dudit défunt". Plus tard cette même année 1700, le 26 septembre, on baptise à Lachine, un autre fils, Thomas, dont le parrain est Thomas Brunet et la marraine Catherine Cesire (ou Cecyre)

Ensuite, le 17 mai 1703, aurait été inhumée (à Ste-Anne ou à Lachine ?) , une fille (Anne) née le 11 mai, d'après certaines sources qui restent a vérifier.

L'établissement d'Hubert "en haut de l'Ile"

C'est en 1704 qu'on trouve la preuve qu'Hubert et sa famille n'habitent plus Lachine. En effet, le registre de Ste-Anne relate le baptème de Joseph, le 11 mai 1704, (né le 9 mai), par Mr De Breslay, sulpicien. Celui-ci a repris la charge de la mission St-Louis

Le 3 avril 1706, Hubert et Anne font la location "d'une terre située au haut de l'Ile de Montréal, par François Legantier de Rané", qui est le commandant du fort Lachine. Cette même année 1706, nait Louise-Angélique, mais le régistre de son baptème (à Ste-Anne) est perdu. Par la suite, le 28 mars 1708, Hubert et Anne contracte une obligation à Francois Legantier de Rané, devant le notaire Nicolas Senet.

En 1706 et 1707, deux ordonnances de l'intendant Raudot ordonne l'ouverture d'un chemin de front le long du fleuve, depuis la Présentation (actuel Dorval) jusqu'au bout de l'isle. Le texte de Girouard qui relate le tout mentionne qu'après l'ordonnance du 15 juillet 1706 "... les habitants Robillard, Brunet, Laviolette, Laplaine (sans doute Laplante) et quelques autres, ayant négligé de se conformer ... ", l'intendant renouvela son ordonnance le 11 juin 1707. Or, le nommé Guenet (propriétaire de Beaurepaire) fut spécialement chargé de voir à l'exécution de cette ordonnance. (Edits et Ord., vol.3, p. 417 - tiré de Girouard, Lac-St-Louis-1892, p.15)

En 1709, le 3 avril, Hubert représente ses associés, Thomas Brunet, Etienne Magdelaine et un nommé Laplante, devant le notaire P. Raimbault pour louer "certaines prairies situées dans la profondeur des bois dans l'Ile de Montréal sur les terres non concédées au-dessus de la pointe Naouy, par le séminaire de St-Sulpice de Montréal, seigneur de l'Ile de Montréal". La pointe nommée "Naouy" sur ce document, s'appelle aussi "pointe Anaouy" ou Pointe-a-Guenet ou Quenet (Girouard-1892) et fait partie aujourd'hui du quartier Beaurepaire de Beaconsfield.

Le 18 mai 1710 est baptisé par M. de Breslay, le dernier fils, Paul, dont le parrain fut Jean Quenet. Or, le 11 décembre 1710, Hubert obtient une "concession d'une terre située au haut de l'Ile de Montréal, par le séminaire de St-Sulpice", et que Girouard désigne comme étant les lots 117-118 (cadastre 322-323), situés à proximité du site initial de la mission St-Louis, à Baie-d'Urfé.

Il semble qu'Hubert et sa famille ont fort probablement habité, vers la fin de la guerre iroquoise (1701), la terre achetée à Etienne Cardinal en 1695 (lot 120), près de la Pointe-a-Caron, aujourd'hui Baie-d'Urfé. Par la suite, en 1710, soit 15 ans plus tard, Hubert obtint une concession de deux lots voisins (117-118). Le lot 119 situés entre ceux-ci aurait été concédé à Vivien Madeleine, selon Girouard. (voir cartes)

Hubert a-t-il habité le village de Ste-Anne ?

Ce n'est qu'en 1712 (soit 26 ans après son mariage !) qu'on retrouve la mention d'une terre acquise par Hubert et qu'on peut situer dans le village actuel de Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, à proximité de l'Eglise. Le notaire P. Raimbault rapporte l'achat par Hubert à Pierre Valiquet d'une terre "située à la cote du lac St-Louis du haut de l'Ile de Montréal". Or, Girouard désigne le lot 102 (cadastre 204-195) comme ayant déjà été concédé à Jean Valiquet (le père de Pierre Valiquet) sur une carte et ensuite à Hubert sur une autre. Enfin, le notaire Raimbault rapporte, en 1714, la vente par Hubert à Guillaume Daoust d'une terre, située également sur la "cote du lac St-Louis" (!) et qui correspond à la description de la terre achetée en 1712.
La présence du nom de ses voisins sur les documents d'époque (régistres paroissiaux et actes notariés) vient renforcer la déduction qu'Hubert et sa famille se sont établis sur les bords du lac St-Louis aux environs de la Baie-d'Urfé, après la fin de la guerre iroquoise ou un peu avant, soit entre 1695 et 1701. Auparavant, soit entre 1686 et 1695-1700, ils ont sans doute habité Lachine, à l'intérieur d'une fortification, suivant les directives des autorités pour se protéger des attaques iroquoises.

On peut aussi retrouver sur le site du patrimoine de Montréal la description d'une maison historique, sise au 20122 chemin Lakeshore, la " Maison Rangé", batie par un descendant ... sur la terre d'Hubert ...

La succession

Le dernier document notarié (M. Lepailleur de LaFerté) concernant Hubert permet de déduire que son décès est survenu avant le 26 fev. 1728 (mais après les mariages de Joseph et Louise en 1726). Il s'agit d'un "acte de donation de biens meubles et immeubles par Anne Girardie, veuve de Hubert Rangé dit Laviolette", à ses enfants. Or, seuls cinq enfants (Pierre, Thomas, Joseph, Louise et Paul) y sont mentionnés ainsi que le mari de Louise-Angélique, Pierre Sauvé et ces deux personnes (Louise et Pierre) sont indiquées comme étant "de l'ile Perot".

Hubert Ranger dit Laviolette

Biography of a pioneer of New France, a soldier of the detachment of the Navy, arrived in Quebec in 1683, then became a laborer.

Hubert is the ancestor of the families RANGER Quebec.

He had four boys who have perpetuated his name: Peter, Thomas, Joseph and Paul .
One daughter , Louise Angélique , survived the union of Hubert and Anne Girardin and is the ancestor of some of the families of Quebec SAVED by his marriage to Pierre Sauvé dit Laplante.
The couple Ranger-Girardin probably had at least four, maybe five more children (3 or 4 girls and one boy) who died young or who have not had any children.

Hubert Ranger would be happened in Quebec in November 1683 on the frigate Tempest , with the first shipment of independent companies of soldiers of the detachment of the Navy.He then spent the winter in Quebec where it has been confirmed in Notre-Dame de Quebec April 4, 1684.

His marriage
The register of the parish of Holy Angels Lachine we provide other information to infer the sequence of events.As a member of the Society of Sieur Guillaume de Lorimier, he followed his commander that the historical documents placed in Lachine from 1685.At the time, there were no barracks for the soldiers who were to live with the settlers.Hubert might have been hosted by René Cuillerier who had a fortified residence in Lachine.Hubert may have been posted in one of the other highlights of Lachine (strong or strong Rolland Rémy) until his marriage to Anne Girardin, July 30, 1686, in Lachine.

Governor Dennonville permission was granted to the young couple or because they were minors (at least that Anne must have 12 or 13) or to allow the soldier to Hubert wife, while his contract of employment (which should have been 6 years) was not completed.A vicar's dispance They were also granted given the non-publication of three banns of use to announce their marriage during the Sunday mass, as was the religious custom for many years (even into the twentieth century).Was there a fear that says it opposes the marriage?

Iroquois Wars

A small historical note is necessary because we are now in the midst of war Iroquois.Indeed.since the departure of the Carignan Regiment in 1668, the colony had experienced a period of relative calm, but since about 1680, hostilities had flared up.Probably driven by the English who provided them with arms, the Iroquois attacked more and more French settlers, especially when they were in the field, helpless.Governor LaBarre had asked for military aid to the city and give way to the Sieur Denonville ...Soon after, the king confirmed the sending of detachments of the Navy.These companies were formed by Cardinal Richelieu to carry out its holy war against the Protestants.

If Hubert was protesting as many people Larochelle, he probably renounced during his engagement, as was the case with another soldier named Jean Lavallée Ranger said, that some authors consider to be his brother.At the time, it probably confirms the soldiers before sending them into battle.In addition, confirmation in Quebec was also necessary for marriage.His intentions seem clear enough when he wanted to establish itself as probably more colon than serving as a soldier, saw his marriage as 1686.

Agricultural activities and purchase of land

From 1690, Hubert has teamed up with Pierre Cardinal in agricultural activities.Thus, February 231690, Hilaire Bourgine the notary on behalf of René Cuillerier praise him for six years, and Pierre Cardinal, two lands in Lachine for a hundred bushels of wheat, 20 bushels of peas or corn and five bushels of oats per year.And April 2, 1690, he spent an agreement (even before the notary Bourgine) with Pierre Cardinal.The latter four oxen, one bull and two cows when he was a bull on the other hand.He agreed that all animals are raised together in shared costs and profits.In addition, they sow half of the land cost and Cardinal will retain all common wheat harvested 10 bushels except that it will provide.

An important fact remains: 22 October 1695 , nine years after his marriage, buys a land of Hubert 4 arpents by 20 arpents in depth at a price of 65 pounds.( located in the upper part of the island of Montreal ) belonging to Cardinal Stephen. But it is blind and was accompanied by his mother, Michele Garnier and his stepfather, Jean Chevalier.By the register of Lachine, we also know that two children were born from his marriage (between 1686 and 1695), a girl born and died in January 1691, which René Cuillerier was the sponsor, and a son (Hubert jr.) Named January 20, 1694, of which Cardinal Gabriel was the sponsor.It seems that this second child also had an unfortunate end, as there is no trace of descendants.On these two birth certificates (as well as those of all his children baptized by Mr. Remy), Hubert is marked as "laborer" and "inhabitant of this parish" (

However, Peter Gabriel and Stephen are the son of Simon Jean Cardinal, came with pioneering the rookie of 1659 and died in 1679.In 1665 he obtained a concession of land in the island of Montreal, on the edge of the great river St. Lawrence River, by the Company of Notre-Dame de Montreal, lord owner of the island of Montreal .His son Simon and Stephen have also obtained concessions in 1686.Simon Cardinal received a concession in 1686 (according Not. Pottier, 20 dec.1686) land, which was designated by Désiré Girouard, as the hole 120 (cadastre 325) from the coast Ste-Anne, near the mission St. Louis (now Pointe-à-Caron Baie d'Urfé) and we then designated as "located in the upper part of the island of Montreal."That obtained by Etienne concession December 10, 1686, according to the notary Basset, be the land purchased by Hubert in 1695.Also note that William DENOYON, witness the wedding of Anne and Hubert would have been the lot next door (121) in 1686 and Ladouceur (Joseph, brother of Hubert and Etienne) had lots 122 and 123.

Historical facts remind us that the mission St. Louis was attacked in September 1687, causing casualties among the settlers and forcing the flight of his mission, the Sulpician François Lascaris d'Urfé.Later, Lachine has undergone the famous and bloody Iroquois attack in August 1689 that forced the governor to order the settlers to remain confined within the fortifications for the night, abandoning their homes and not leaving the day to go to the fields under armed guard .This war lasted Iroquois at least until the end of the century.It was not until 1701 that the Great Peace of Montreal brought a lasting truce in hostilities of Iroquois.Which remained Hubert and his family during this turbulent period?

The difficulty starting a family that can survive

On September 16, 1696 in Lachine is called by Mr. Remy, Pierre Ranger , second son, but considered the eldest of the family and was sexton of the parish of Ste-Anne .His godfather was Pierre Tabau, who had married in 1688 in Lachine, Marie Brabant, widow of Jean De Lalonde, killed by the Iroquois during the attack of the mission St. Louis in 1687.Recent archaeological research mission located at Pointe-à-Caron, Baie d'Urfé, where the descendants "Lalonde" have erected a memorial.

Two years later, almost to the day, was baptized September 15, 1698, a girl named Marie Joseph , whose godfather was Joseph said Madeleine Ladouceur and godmother, his wife and sister of Anne or Catherine Girardin.No other document concerning this child would have had no offspring, but Tanguay was confused with another girl named Marie-Josephe also by Pierre-Dit-Ranger Pack Rivière-des-prairies.Note that its sponsor, Joseph Madeleine obtained the concession of Lot 123 and Lot 122 with his brother Stephen, in 1699.Their father Madeleine Vivier (1641-1708, Carignan soldier) would have been the lot 119 in 1686 (source: Girouard).

On March 7, 1700, the notary Adhemar said Hubert de Lachine is living when he wrote an "obligation on account balance by Hubert Ranger dit Laviolette, a resident of Lachine, Catherine Teyssier, widow of Vincent Dugast, the City Villemarie, guardian of minor children to her and said deceased. " Later that same year 1700, September 26, are baptized in Lachine, another son, Thomas , whose sponsor is Thomas Brunet and godmother Catherine CESIR ( or Cecyre)

Then May 17, 1703, was buried (or at Ste-Anne in Lachine?), A daughter (Anne) was born May 11, according to some sources that remain to be checked.

The establishment of Hubert "at the top of the Island"

In 1704 we find evidence that Hubert and his family no longer live Lachine.Indeed, the register of Ste-Anne recounts the baptism of Joseph, May 11, 1704, (Born May 9), by Mr De Breslay, Sulpician.It has assumed the mission of St. Louis

On April 3, 1706, Hubert and Anne are renting "of land located at the top of the island of Montreal, François Legantier Ranee " , who is the commander of Fort Lachine.That same year , 1706, born Louise-Angélique , but the register of his baptism (Ste-Anne) is lost.Subsequently, March 28, 1708, Hubert and Anne incurs an obligation to Francois Legantier Rane, before the notary Nicolas Senet.

In 1706 and 1707, two orders of the intendant Raudot ordered the opening of a front road along the river, from the Introduction (current Dorval) until the end of the island .The text that tells all Girouard says that after the ordinance of July 15, 1706 " ... the people Robillard, Brunet, Laviolette, Laplaine (probably Laplante) and some others, having failed to comply ... " , the intendant renewed his order June 11, 1707.However, the appointed Guenet (owner of Beaurepaire) was specifically instructed to see to the execution of that order.(Edits and Ord., Vol.3, p. 417 - taken from Girouard, Lac-St-Louis-1892, p.15)

In 1709, April 3, Hubert represents his associates, Thomas Brunet, Etienne Magdelaine and one appointed Laplante, before the notary P.Raimbault for rent "certain fields located in the deep woods on the island of Montreal on unpatented land above the tip Naouy, the seminary of St. Sulpice of Montreal, lord of the island of Montreal." The point called " Naouy "in it, is also called" advanced Anaouy "or Pointe-a-Guenet or Quenet (Girouard, 1892) and is today the district of Beaconsfield Beaurepaire.

On May 18, 1710 was baptized by Mr. de Breslay, the youngest son, Paul , whose godfather was Jean Quenet.However, December 11, 1710, Hubert gets a " grant of land located at the top of the island of Montreal, the St. Sulpice seminary, " and that means Girouard as lots 117-118 (cadastre 322 - 323), located near the original site of Mission St. Louis, Baie d'Urfé.

It seems that Hubert and his family most likely lived towards the end of the war Iroquois (1701), the land purchased from Stephen Cardinal in 1695 (lot 120), near the Pointe-a-Caron, now Bay -d 'Urfé.Subsequently, in 1710, 15 years later, Hubert received a grant of two neighboring lots (117-118).Lot 119 located between them would have been granted to Vivien Madeleine, according to Girouard.(See maps)

Hubert he lived in the village of Ste-Anne?

It was not until 1712 (or 26 years after her marriage!) Found a reference to land acquired by Hubert and can be in the present village of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, near the church.The notary P.Raimbault related to the purchase by Pierre Hubert Valiquet of land "located on the coast of Lake St-Louis from the top of the island of Montreal . "But Girouard is the lot 102 (cadastre 204-195) as having been granted to Jean Valiquet (father of Pierre Valiquet) on a map and then on another Hubert.Finally, the notary Raimbault reported in 1714, the sale by William Hubert Daoust of land, also located on the "side of Lake St. Louis "(!) and matches the description of the land purchased in 1712.
The presence of the name of its neighbors on period documents (parish registers and notarial acts) reinforces the deduction that Hubert and his family settled on the shores of Lake St-Louis in the vicinity of the Baie d'Urfé , after the end of the Iroquois war or just before, between 1695 and 1701.Previously, between 1686 and 1695 to 1700, they probably lived in Lachine, inside a fort, as directed by the authorities to protect against Iroquois attacks.

Can also be found on the site of Montreal's heritage the description of a historical house, located at 20122 Lakeshore Road, the " House Stored ", built by a descendant ...the land of Hubert ...

Succession

The final document notarized (Mr. Lepailleur of Laferté) on Hubert can be deduced that his death occurred before 26 February1728 (but after the marriage of Joseph and Louise in 1726).This is a "deed of gift of movable and immovable property by Anne Girard, widow of Hubert Filed Laviolette said," to his children.However, only five children (Peter, Thomas, Joseph, Louise and Paul) are mentioned as the husband of Louise-Angélique, Pierre Sauvé and these two people (Louise and Peter) are shown as " the island Perot " .

The Ranger Family of the St. Lawrence Valley and Central New York State - History and Genealogy of Descendants of Basil DAVID Ranger - Alternate spellings of Ranger include: Rongey, Roshia, and Rangé - compiled by Bob Ranger - - - Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. Updated: March 19, 2011.

PIERRE RANGER (born c1631) -The Rangers we have been able to trace came from Western France near the Bay of Biscay. Pierre Ranger and his wife, Jeanne Boutinne, lived in the city of La Rochelle in the old province of Aunis. He was a rouillier . . a merchandise wagon driver. Today, in France, the largest population of Rangers live in the Poitiers area which is in the old province of Poitou. Those interested may consult the map illustrating the ancient provinces and the modern departements. See link below.*

Robert HUBERT Ranger dit Laviollette c1661 La Rochelle, Charente, Maritime, France, soldat de la Compagnie de Lorimier. In 1686, Hubert married Anne Girardin c1673 Quebec, daughter of Léonard Girardin c1645 St Pierre, Poitiers, Vienne, France; m 1671 Quebec, and Marie Charlotte Jolivet c1648 Andreusil, Rouen, Seine-Maritime, France. Charlotte Jolivet was a "Fille du Roi, with dowry of £350." Anne died in 1760 at Bout de l'Ile, Québec.

As a youngster growing up near the bustling seaport on the Bay of Biscay, through which passed much of the trade to and from the colony of New France, the young Hubert must have heard many tales of adventure. He may have enlisted in the colonial regular troops as a means of getting to Canada.

Evidence suggests he left La Rochelle aboard "the Tempete on 29 Aug. 1683 and arrived at Quebec on 7 November of that year." (Page440 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Vol lI).

In order to marry 13-year-old Anne Girardy, Hubert received permission from the governor Denonville, presumably because he was a soldier and possibly because he was a minor.

Below is a picture of a replica of the first chapel at Sts. Anges de Lachine. It was built in 1676 and is no doubt the church in which Hubert and Anne were married. The parish of Lachine was the third parish erected on Montreal island. Only the parishes of Ville-Marie and Pointe-aux-Trembles are older.

After his discharge, Hubert and Anne probably settled in Bout de l'Ile, now called Ste. Anne de Bellevue in the County of Jacques Cartiers on Montreal Island, Quebec. Situated near the point where the Ottawa River joins the St. Lawrence, it was an ideal spot for anyone engaged in the fur trade. To view the story of this early Montreal Island community, see link below.***

The Ranger dit name was Laviollette. Was this a military alias, a fighting clan? It may be that the nickname "Laviolette" may have been given to Hubert Ranger by his older comrades in arms because of his extreme youth and good looks.

Hubert died between 1726 and 1732 probably at Bout de l'Ile. His wife Anne died on 30 April 1760. At least four of their sons, Pierre, Thomas, Joseph, and Paul and one daughter, Louise Angelique, left descendants.Soon afterward a large contingent of the family moved across the Ottawa to the seigneury (now county) of Vaudreuil. From there they spread north across the Ottawa and west into Ontario on both the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. Some settled in the Mississippi (Ont.) Valley.

The Rangers were for the most farmers, who trapped or worked in lumber camps during winter. In the days of the Northwest Company, some signed on as voyageurs for a year or so, and others were never seen or heard of again. Some became prospectors or miners, and the mining camps of Northern Ontario are well populated with Rangers.

Our branch of the Rangers migrated from Lachine, Pointe Claire, Bout de l'Ile, and Ste. Anne de Bellevue (near Montréal)to Rigaud, then up the St. Lawrence to Brockville, Ontario. At Brockville, they adopted English as their first language. They continued migrating, making their way to Wellesley Island, Clayton, Redwood, and Syracuse. Rangers were established in Syracuse as early as 1858. They operated a farm at Buckley Road, just north of Syracuse. My grandfather, with help from my father and uncle, ran produce to northern New York state and across the St. Lawrence to towns along the river, probably all the way to Brockville. Rangers also owned a thriving flower and greenhouse business at Buckley Road. Please visit Buckley Road:Life in the 1920's and 30's for more information and stories about Buckley Road in the early days.

Larry Coderre - Ranger family historian
Larry Coderre supplied much of the material and insight for these pages. His expertise in Quebec history, his first-hand knowledge of the church/parish system, and his understanding of French naming practices placed him among the top authorities on French Canadiangenealogy. His research techniques included careful cross-checking of every detail to ensure material was as historically accurate as it could be. We owe many thanks to Larry and to Lucille Ranger Coderre, his wife. Lucille passed away in 2007 and Larry died a year later. For more information about Larry Coderre and his help with this project, , see: Larry Coderre's Site

Larry submitted three GEDCOMs (family trees) to Rootsweb that include: 1) the Coderre - Ranger family, which includes all of Lu’s and Larry's direct ancestors that he was able to find, 2) Ranger dit Laviolette, and 3) the Coderre files. Larry once commented, "I have been getting responses to all three files and each time I try to update them I find something else. It is good fun." The three GEDCOMs follow:

PIERRE QUESNEL was born Abt. 1630 in Ste Malo, Bayeux, France, and died date unknown. He married MARIE POULARD on Abt. 1649 in Ste-Malo, Bayeux, Normandie, France. Pierre came to Montreal from France in 1660's. He was a master gunsmith or armourer.

Children:
OLIVIER TOURBLANCHE QUESNEL b. 1654, Ste Malo, Bayeux, Normandie, France, d. May 15, 1719, Lachine, Penetanguishene, Quebec, Canada.

ELEVENTH GENERATION

OLIVIER TOURBLANCHE QUESNEL was born 1654 in Ste Malo, Bayeux, Normandie, France, and died May 15, 1719 in Lachine, Penetanguishene, Quebec, Canada. He married CATHERINE PRUDHOMME on January 15, 1679/80 in Montreal, Penetanaguishene, Quebec, Canada, daughter of Louis Prudhomme and Roberte Gadois. Olivier was the first descendant to come to dDquesnel, Quebec in 1676. He later settled as a farmer in Lachine, Quebec.

From "The Second Generation" written by Claudette Parker.
In 1669, by order of the Kind Louis XIV, the male population between the ages of sixteen and sixty were organized into militia units. In each parish a company was formed. In more populated parishes the companies had a captain, a lieutenant, and an ensign. Most of the officers were habitants rather then seigneurs. Captains were appointed by the Governor General serving as his agents, making certain that law and order prevailed throughout the countryside. Men served without pay. However, officers did enjoy an elevated social status. The entire male population was armed and could be mobilized quickly by its habitant captains.
In her pregnancy with Jean Baptist, Catherine, in the absence of Olivier, possibly retained in the high-country and because of the remoteness of Lachine at that time, was transported to Montreal to be in the care of her brother-in-law the surgeon doctor Martinet dit Fomblanche and her sister Marguerite Prud'homme, wife to Martinet.
Jean Baptist Quesnel was born and baptized on the 31st of October 1681 in Montreal. He was the first born of Olivier Quesnel and Catherine Prud'homme, and the first to serve in the militia as a captain and commander at Carillon.

TENTH GENERATION

JEAN BAPTISTE QUESNEL (my 8th great grandfather) was born October 31, 1681 in Montreal, Penetanguishene, Quebec, Canada, and died August 12, 1763 in Lachine, Penetanguishene, Quebec, Canada. He married (1) Marie-Louise (Uknown) on Abt. 1701 in Lachine, Penetanguishene, Quebec, Canada. He married (2) MARIE-ANNE GOURDON on January 20, 1704/05 in Lachine, Penetanguishene, Quebec, Canada, daughter of Jean Baptiste (dit Lachasse) Gourdon and Michelle Perrin dit Lachasse. He married (3) Jeanne Aubuchon on August 18, 1715 in Montreal, Penetanaguishene, Quebec, Canada, daughter of Joseph Aubuchon and Elisabeth Cusson.

From "The Second Genreation" written by Claudette Parker.
Jean Baptist Quesnel was born and baptized on the 31st of October 1681 in Montreal. He was the first born of Olivier Quesnel and Catherine Prud'homme, and first to serve in the militia as a captain and commander at Carillon. The harrowing experience of the Iroquois massacre at Lachine, credited Jean Baptist with his first battle at the young age of seven years. This incident must have had a lasting impression on the youngster.
On the 20th of January 1705, Jean Baptist married Marie Anne Gourdon, daughter of Jean Baptist Gourdon and Michele Perrin dit Lachasse, in the presence of Anne and Suzanne Gourdon, Antoine and Mary Anne Perrin and Francouis Fortier, Guillaume Deslorimier, captain of the militia and commander of Fort Tolland. Of this marriage two children were born. Mary Madeleine and Michel Antoine.
Marie Anne Gourdon, was buried in Lachine the 22nd of January 1709, at the age of 25 years old.
In a second marriage, Jean Baptist married in Montreal on the 18th day of August 1715, to Jeanne Aubuchon, 24 years old and the daughter of Joseph and Elisabeth Cusson. The marriage contract was passed before the notary Lepailleur on the same day. Jeanne Aubuchon was baptized in Montreal on the 29th of June 1690 and was buried at Lachine, the 21st of May 1779 at the age of 89 years. From this marriage was born nine children.
By the 1696, because of overproduction, the French beaver market was bankrupt. Therefore, Jean Baptist turned the earth for his livelihood and became a successful Gentlemen farmer.

It is believed that the wedding on January 23, 1833 was in a protestant church in Ormston, as it was reconstructed on December 12, 1848 at St. Anicet. Many of his family are shown on p. 145 of the "History of Red Lake County", in a photo taken in 1888 with Stephen Quesnel and Elizabeth Chretian.

FIFTH GENERATION

ETIENNE (STEPHEN) QUESNEL was born May 26, 1842 in St. Anicet, and died May 09, 1922 in Terrebonne, Minnesota. He married (1) ELIZABETH CHRETIEN on April 26, 1869 in St. Anicet, daughter of JOSEPH ALEXIS CHRETIEN and ELLEN (NALLY HELEN KERBY) KIRBY. He married (2) Annie LeMay Delorme on 1891 in Terrebonne, Minnesota, daughter of Francois Delorme and Anne Trudell.

Stephen's story reported in the "History of Red Lake County", published in 1976, co-authored by Anne Healy, Red Lake Falls, Minnesota.
Stephen was born and married to his first wife, Elizabeth, in Quebec, where he was a Captain of a ship on the St. Lawrence River, until 1882, when he took up a homestead in Terrebonne Township (then Polk County). Here he built a log cabin, where the family lived until they built a frame house in 1900. When Elizabeth died, he married the widow of Damien Quesnel, who had 6 children from him. They had the same last name because Damien was the half nephew of Stephen. Annie was the widow of Stephen's half nephew, Damien Quesnel.

which also has a free 7 day trial membership right now that I am using...seems to be a pretty good site so far....I'll let you know how I like it at the end!

UPDATE: NOT liking Archives . com....records that I already have through ancestry . com aren't showing up on archives . com plus they are partnered with footnote so all the census records are through there and to view the original (they leave off some info on archives copy) you have to pay 2.95 to footnote....which would get pretty costly if you wanted to view a few.....would not recommend archives...just showing birth/death/marriage/census records (although like I said, census is not viewed in whole till you pay footnote) and the records showing doesn't link to married names....

GODFREY NIMS.

Often has Old Deerfield been the shrine toward which a band
of pilgrims has been drawn by some common interest; bnt never
before has the family of Godfrey Nims gathered in this way on
his home lot to honor his memory.

Children of his children, we have come home to tread the
soil upon which fell the sweat, tears and blood of our fathers
and mothers in those early days of labor, suffering and savage
murder. Periods of calm there were too, when the spinning
wheels hummed in the primitive homes of this little village and
the scythes swung and swished in the golden fields out yonder,
and the settlers forgot for a time that the dark bordering for-
ests hid wild beasts formed as men but fierce as fiends.

Here, Godfrey Nims builded — and, after fire devoured it,
builded anew — his home, as pioneers have built and will build
while there shall remain a frontier; and he and those about
his hearth loved it as we love that for which we have planned
and worked. As our minds revive the personality of our com-
mon ancestor, that common blood which inseparably links us
should thrill in our veins. This Nims lot was, not so long ago,
the stage upon which was enacted one of those pioneer tragedies
too blood-curdling and awful to adeciuately picture in words: —
the naked Indians — painted demons — slaughtering children by
the lurid light of a flaring home, amid the din of savage yells
and the shrieks of terrified w^omen and of children butchered
or burned.

"Not so long ago" — for I remember my grandfather Nims,
big in both brawn and brain, and all heart; his grandfather
was the Greenfield settler, and his grandfather was the head
of that suffering household. So recently did the Great Spirit
release the first waves of civilization to break on the eastern
shore of this broad land, and so recently did his red children,
wild denizens of the wilderness, seek to turn that irresistible
flood back from the land their fathers had possessed for un-
counted generations.

Long enough ago, however, were these events, to be veiled
in that mist of time which, half concealing, half revealing,
lures curiosity and charms imagination. The Honorable
George Sheldon, in our well-thumbed bible of local history,
says: — "A family tradition places Godfrey Nims here, as
third settler before 1671." "Keal estate here was sold to
such men only as were approved by Dedham. " He "bought
liome lot No. 85, in 1674, but I do not find him living here
until the Permanent Settlement." In "True Stories of New
England Captives" Miss C. Alice Baker says:— "The third
settler, Godfrey Nims, came from Northampton to Deerfield
HI 1670, living there 'in a sort of house where he had dug a
hole or cellar in the side hill,' south of Colonel Wilson's. At
the allotment of the homesteads in 1671, he built a house, on
what lot is not known." Mr. Sheldon says that in 1704 Thank-
ful Nims and her husband were living on this Wilson lot "in
a sort of side-hill cave, which was so covered with snow as to
escape the observation of the enemy" and that the Nims
houses burned in 1694 and 1704 each stood "on the site of the
present Nims house."

Of the time earlier thrin these dates we find another tra-
dition, pointing back to France, and a colonial public record
not inconsistent with the tradition: David Nims, junior, told
his grandson, the late Brigham Nims of Roxbury, that he had
l)een told by David, senior, a graiulson of Godfrey, that God-
frey Nims was a Hnguenot, came to America as a mere lad
and at first spelled his name Godefroi de Nismes, but changed
tlio spelling to suit the colonial way of pronouncing it.
Deacon Zadock Nims of Sullivan received and transmitted a
similar tradition as to the spelling.

A few miles north of the IMediterranean and west of the
Rhone lies the ancient city of Nimes, or Nismes. Now a place
of seventy or eighty thousand people, and the eai)ital of the
department of (iai-d, it was the Roman Nemasns. Con-
(|U('red l)y the Romans 121 y(>ars ])efore Christ, it l)ecame one
oT the chief provincial cities; was plundered by the Vandals
in 407, suffered from the West Goths and Saracens, and was
n\ 1258 united to France. Nimes suffered in the Huguenot
wars, and was in 1815 the scene of reactionary atrocities
against the Protestants. I^he city still retains the coat of
arms used when it w;is a Roman province: This r(>presents a
I)alm tree, to wliicli a crocodile is chained, and bears the ab-

breviation Col. Nem. for its old name Colonia Nemasus. Here
are notable Roman anti(iuities, including an amphitheatre
which, although one of the oldest buildings in the world, is
still used in the good old barbaric way. Here, in 1787, was
born (xuizot, the distinguished French historian and states-
man ; and here in Nimes, if we may credit tradition, was born,
sometime about 1650, Godfrey, whom the English in New Eng-
land called Nims.

What of the public record? Well, the records tells very
solemnly, but graphically, of a boy, much out of humor with
life in an English colony, conspiring with two other young
scamps to run away to the French; and, when all the good
folk had gone to meeting, 'ransacking about the house' to find
the wherewithal to furnish the expedition. An Indian in it,
too! Can you beat that? Boy all over; and French boy
at that. If he wasn't Godefroi de Nismes, where did he come
from and where were all the other Nimses?

So much for speculation and for sympathy with the boy:
Now here are the very cold facts, and no sympathy at all: —

"James Bennet, Godfrey Nims & Benoni Stebbins, young
lads of Northampton being by Northampton Comissionrs bound
ouer to this Corte to answer for diverse crimes & misdemeanrs
comitted by them, were brought to this Corte by ye Constable
of yt Towne wch 3 lads are accused by Robert Bartlett for that
they gott into his house two Sabbath dayes when all the family
were at the Pul)like Meeting: On ye first of wch tymes, they
vizt. Nims & Stebbins did ransack about the house & tooke
away out of diverse places of the house vist. 24 shillings in
silver & 7s in Wampum wth the intention to run away to the
ffrench: Al which is hy them confessed, wch wickednesse of
theires hath also been accompanyd with frequent lying to ex-
cuse & justify themselves, especially on Nims his pt, who it

6

seemes hath been a ringleader in their vilainys: ffor all wch
their crimes and misdemeanors this Corte doth Judge yt the
said 3 lads shalbe well whipt on their naked bodys vizt. Nims
& Bennet wth 15 lashes apeece & Benoni Stebbins with 11
lashes. And the said Nims & Stebbins are to pay Robert
Biirtlett the summe of 41 being accounted treble according to
law, for what goods he hath lost by their meanes. Also those
psons that reed any money of any of the said lads, are to
restore it to the s'd Robert Bartlett. But there being made
to the Corte an earnest petition & request by Ralfe Hutchin-
son father-in-law to ye said James Bennet & diverse other
considerable psons yt the said Bennets corporall punishment
might be released by reason of his mothers weakness, who it
is feared may suffer much inconvenioncy thereby, that pun-
ishment was remitted upon his father-in-law his engaging to
this Corte to pay ffive pounds to ye County as a fyne for the
said Bennets offence, wch 51 is to be paid to ye County Treas-
urer for ye use of ye County. Also John Stebbins, Junior
being much suspected to have some hand in their plotting to
run away. This Corte doth ordr ye Comissionrs of Northamp-
ton to call him before ym & to examine him about that or any
other thing whereon he is suspected to be guilty wth ye said
lads, & so act therein according to their discretion, attending
law. Also they are to call the Indian called Que(iuelatt who
had a hand in their plott & to deale with him according as
they fynd."

Before the year was over the Indian "Queciuelett was
'whipt 20 hislies' for helping Godfrey Nims and Benoni Steb-
bins 'about running away to Canada.' " At a court held the
following March John Stebbins, junior, a brother of Benoni,
acknowleged that he had been privy to the plot of Bennett
and Stebbins to run away, and the court, because he had
concealed his knowledge of it, sentenced him to be "whipt on
the naked body with ten stripes or else to pay 40s to the
County Treasurer." His father paid the fine.

On page 143 of the same book of records it appears that: —
"At the County Cote holden at Northampton March 25th
167 2-3 * * * Godfrey Nims * * * James
Bennett Ze])ediah Williams * * * Benoni Stebbins * * *
all of Northampton took the Oath of Fidelity to this Governmt."

There were other names, which I have not copied, but these
were the three bad boys, now loyal men, with presumably the
same Zebediah Williams who "sold out his land in Northamp-
ton, in 1674. lie was here in 1675, and was one of the team-
sters killed with Lothrop. His widow, Mary, daughter of
Wm. Miller, married Godfrey Nims" November 26th, 1677.
In 1692 the Court ordered Patience Miller, as the grandmother
of Zebediah, junior, "to take him and educate him, or get him
out for education ' ' ; Init his stepfather, Godfrey Nims, ob-
jected, and the case was postponed. This Zebediah Williams
was captured with John Nims and died in Canada. His widow
married again, as had his mother. His grandmother had mar-
ried three times. Deerfield in Indian times was no place for
single blessedness.

In 1674 Godfrey Nims bought from William Smead, whose
daughter he married in 1692. the north part of lot No. 25; and
m 1701 he sold it to his brother-in-law Ebenezer Smead.

May 19th, 1676, Nims, Bennet and Stebbins proved that
their "Oath of Fidelity," taken three years earlier, was no
idle formality; serving, as they did, under Capt. William Tur-
ner of Boston in the Falls Fight against the Pocumtuck Indians.
Spurred by the enemy's bold harassment, about 140 whites
marched in dead of night through the primeval wilderness
against unknown numbers of a savage tribe. Surprising them
at the salmon fishing falls near the mouth of Fall river, some
400 Indians were slain; but the white men lost Capt. Turner,
James Bennett and forty others. A grave discovered during
my Iwyhood days, in the gravel bank on tlfe farm of my
grandfather Nims, is thought by Mr. Sheldon to have been
that of Capt. Turner, who was shot on the retreat as he rode
up the west bank of Green river.

January 6th, 1685, "Godfrey Nims, for five acres want,
had fourteen acres 'at the south end of the commonly called
Martins Meadow: that to be his south line: to run in length
from the Grate river to the Grate hill & so take his breadth
northerly.' "

February 5th, 1687, a committee was chosen to measure the
common fence and lay out to each proprietor his proportion
on a basis of eleven feet to an acre, and Godfrey Nims was
assigned 27 rods and 11 feet to maintain.

8

The first meeting of the inhabitants of Deerfield which
was recorded as a "town" meeting "appears to have been held
December 16th, 1686." Here the names of William Smead
and Benoni Stebbins again appear, now as two of the six
selectmen, and among other transactions of this meeting was
the laying out of wood lots. "A list of the wood lots as they
were Drawn April 20 1688" shows that "Godfrey Nims" drew
No. 38 and held 14 cow commons, and that each of his two
lots at Long Hill was 21 rods wide. In "A List of Wood Lots
on the Mountain, the first Lot beginning at Deerfield River
Laying along by the River side: — " Lot No. 1 fell to "Gorfre
Nims"; who, with his 14 cow commons, was entitled to a lot
28 rods wide.

"May 30th, 1689. Att a legal Town meeting in Deerfield
Godfre Nims was chosen constable for the year ensuing until
anothr be chosen & sworn. ' ' A month earlier Governor Andros
had been deposed liy a revolution of the people, and our friend
Stebbins was one of the selectmen who had sent a representa-
tive to confer with the "Counsell of Safety".

December 14th, 1691, Nims was chosen one of the five
selectmen. This was at a critical time, as the previous month
"about one hundred and fifty Indians came here from the
Hudson, complicating affairs, and increasing the alarm."

Our ancestor was the owner of house lots 27 & 28. The
numbering of lots began at the north end of the street on the
west side, and ended at the north end on the east side, and the
lots were drawn May 14th, 1671. The history of this tract
and of the buildings on it is worthy a separate paper, and it
is sufficient to say here that he purchased lot No. 27 in 1692,
it being conveyed by the administrator of the estate of Ben-
jamin Barrett to Godfrey Nims, cordwainer. The house
burned January 4th, 1694; and November 21st of that year
he bought lot No. 28 from Benjamin Hastings, a carpenter.
The Nims house stood within the stockade and burned Feb-
ruary 29th, 1704, and the present house is more than two cen-
turies old.

A manuscript, (probably an official report), found among
the papers of Fritz John Winthrop, governor of Connecticut
1698 — 1707, and giving "an account of ye destruction at
Derefd", bears a long list of losses, headed by "The Rev'nd
Mr. John Williams" and "(Jodfrey Nims"; by which it ap-
pears that theirs were among the most valuable houses burned,
and that each lost house and barn and all in them. The white
church, town office, town hall and school building and the old
academy building, now ^Memorial Hall, all stand on the Nims
tract.

January 4th, 1694, when the Nims house burned, the step-
son Jeremiah Hull perished. The jury of inquest reported: —
"The said Jeremiah Hull, being put to bed in a chamber with
another child, after some time, Henry, said Godfrey Nims's
son, a boy of about 10 years of age, went into the chamber with
a light & by accident fired some flax or tow, which fired the
house. Sd Henry brought down one child, & going up again
to fetch sd Jeremiah, the chamber was all aflame & before
other help came, sd Jeremiah was past recovery." Poor little
Jeremiah was but four years old, and his sister Elizabeth Hull
was five. Did our little ancestress so narrowly escape death?
Or was the "one child", whom Henry brought down, Thomas
Nims — just then the baby of this growing family?

This year, 1694, Godfrey Nims bought a part of house lot
No. 1 (at the north end of the street, west side,) from John
Weller, junior. In 1719 Godfrey's son John owned real estate
there, and in 1774 Abner Nims sold it for ninety pounds.

August 21st, 1695, our ancestor and four other men "com-
ing out in ye Morning on Horses goeing to mil & wth Baggs
under ym. Had 7 or 8 guns discharged upon ym, unexpectedly,
& seeing noebody till ye guns were shot of, wherein eminent
gracious providence appeared that no more mischiefe was done
to ors. For except Joseph Barnard, who was shot downe off
his horse and sorely wounded, not one more hurt, wheras ours
were surprised & ye Indians had time." So John Pynchon
wrote to Gov. Wm. Stoughton ; and Stephen Williams adds
to the "Redeemed Captive" a statement that "then N(ims)
took him up & his horse was shot down and then he was
mounted behind M(attoon) and came of home." Barnard,

10

who was the town clerk of Deerfield, died September sixth, and
Mr. Sheldon says that his gravestone bears the earliest date in
the old graveyard.

That year the meeting- house, thirty feet square, was build-
ing; and "Att a legal Town Meeting in Deerfd Novemb: 22
1695 Godfrey Nims was chosen Collector to collect and gather
two rates yt is to say a Town rate and a Meeting House Rate
both j\Iade in ye year 1694 which Rates he is to deliver being
gathered to the Selectmen." He was one of the selectmen in
1695 and 1696.

March 3rd, 1701, Godfrey Nims, Sergt. AUyn and Corp.
Wells were chosen to lay a road to the land on the west side
of the river. Their report was made June 14th, and they also
reported a "hie way to ye Green River lands", which high-
way led through the present Main street of Greenfield, and
then northerly through Greenfield Meadows, where now live
Nims decendants of the fifth generation.

In 1702 Nims and Stebbins were again associated — this
time on the school committee; the town having in 1698 adopted
a liberal policy of education, and voted that "a school be con-
tinued in ye Town : That all heads of families yt have Child-
ren whether male or female between ye ages of six and ten
years, shal pay by the poll to sd school whether yd send such
children to School or not".

Godfrey Nims had six children by his first wife, Mary Mil
lei', who was the widow of Zebediah Williams and had a son
and daughter by her first husband; and the second wife,
Mehitable Smead, also a widow, had a son and daughter by
her first husband Jeremiah Hull and five children by Mr.
Nims.

Of course the Williams boy and girl were thus half- brother
and -sister to the ]Miller-Nims children, and step-brother and
-sister to the Smead-Nims children ; but not related to the Hull
boy and girl, who were, however, half-brother and -sister to
the Smead-Nims children, and step-brother and -sister to the
Miller-Nims children.

11

Among them, the four sets of children had but five parents,
of whom four were ancesters of the Greenfield branch of the
family, as John Nims (the son of Godfrey by his first wife)
married Elizabeth Hull (the daughter of Godfrey's second
wife by her first husband), and their son Thomas went to
Greenfield, married Esther JMartindale, and assisted in popu-
lating the new town.

Godfrey Nims' first wife, Mary, the Widow Williams, had
two children ; Mary Williams, born December 24th, 1673, whose
fate I do not know ; and Zebediah Williams, junior, born in
1675, Avho was captured with his half-brother John Nims in
1703, and died in Canada in 1706, leaving a widow and two
children.

Godfrey's first child, Rebecca, was born and died in August
1678. John and another Rebecca were born August 14, 1679:
John was captured October 8, 1703, and escaped May 14,
1705; married Elizabeth Hull, as stated above; Rebecca mar-
ried Philip IMattoon January 15, 1702, and was slain with their
only child in the massacre of 1704. Henry, born April 20,
1682, was also slain in 1704. Thankful, born August 29, 1684,
married Benjamin INTunn and they were unharmed at the time
of the massacre.

Ebenezer was l)orn ]\Iarch 14, 1687, captured in 1704, re-
deemed in 1714.

Their mother died April 27, 1688 ; and, June 27, 1692, their
father married the Widow Mehitable Hull, whose daughter
Elizabeth Hull (born December 23, 1688,) was also captured
in 1704, and after her redemption married John Nims; Mrs.
Hull's son Jeremiah (born Januarj^ 15, 1690,) was the child
I)urned in the Nims house in 1694. Thomas Nims was born
' November 8, 1693, and died September 10, 1697. Mehitable,
born May 16, 1696, and the twins Mary and Mercy, born Feb-
ruary 28, 1699, were all liurned in the later house February
29, 1704. The youngest child, Abigail, born May 27, 1700,
was captured in 1704 and carried to Canada, "whence she
came not back." Mrs. Nims, also taken captive, was slain on
the trail; probably Saturday, March 4, 1704.

12

When the flame-lit night of February 29th, 1704, gave
place to the cold dawn of ]\larch first; and Godfrey Nims,
standing here, looked upon what had been his own hard-won
home and was then the smol^;ing funeral pyre of his three little
daughters, there was left to comfort him but one member of
his family.

His eldest son and his step-son captured the fall before;
His son Henry, aged 22, slain; His eldest daughter and her
baby boy slain; His wife, his boy Ebenezer, his baby Abigail,
Elizabeth Hull his step-daughter, and Mattoon his son-in-law, —
all led away into the night by bloody and brutal savages:

One alone was there: — Thankful, his daughter, whose snow-
covered home had concealed its inmates.

Mrs. Nims and Philip Mattoon were slain on the march.
Her mother (Elizabeth Smead) and her brother's wife and two
children were killed. Deerfield sulfered that night. It is
written : —

"48 dead. 111 captives in Canada; only 25 men, as many
women and 75 children, 43 of whom were under ten years of
age, were left."

The next year John escaped from the enemy and made his
long way back to Deerfield; but his father, Godfrey Nims, had
escaped the bonds of mortality, and his body had been borne
down the Albany road and laid in the old burying ground
near the ford of the river, where rest those who hewed their
own way into the wilderness and blazed a trail for civilization.

Zebediah Williams remained a captive in Canada and soon
died. Ebenezer and Elizabeth Hull were redeemed, but Abi-
gail grew up among the French and Indians, and refused to
return to New England and protestantism. The fascinating
stcry of her life is beautifully told, under the title "The Two
Captives", by Miss Baker, whose genius for accurate research
was supplemented by the power to read between the lines and
to express her discoveries and her opinions in most charming
English.

In the old Hampshire probate records, book 3, page 127, is
this entry :—" Power of Administration on the Estate of God-
frey Nims late of Deerfield Deceasd was Granted on the 10th
day of April Annoqne Domini: 1705 to Benjamin Mun of sd

Following the record of the administrator's account on

From these four of Godfrey's children are those today of
the Nims name or blood descended: John; Thankful; Ebene-
zer; Abigail.

JOHN NIMS.

October 8th, 1703, according to the written account by the
Reverend Stephen Williams, "Zebediah Williams & John Nims
went into ye meadow in ye evening to look after creatures, &
wer ambushed by indians in ye ditch beyond Frary's bridge,
who fird at ym, but missd ym, and took W. quick, and N ran
to ye pond, & then returud to ym (fearing to be shot,) ye
Indians wound cattle and went oft'. Ye men were carried to
Canada, where W. dyd, & N ran away in ye year 1705, wth
Joseph petty, Thos Baker and IMartin Kellogue. My father
escaped narrowly ye nt before at Broughtons hill." By reason
of this event John was not at Deerfield in 1704 when so many
of the family were slain.

October 22nd, 1703, Reverend Solomon Stoddard, writing
from Northampton to Governor Dudley, adds this postscript
concerning Godfrey Nims: —

"Since I wrote: the father of the two Captives belonging
to Deerfield, has importunately desired me to write to yr Ex'ey
that you wd endeavor the Redemption of his children — I re-
quest that if you have any opportunity, you would not be back-
ward to such a work of mercy."

Mr. Sheldon says:— "There is a tradition in the Nims
family, that when DeRouville's expedition was being planned,
some of the leaders made John Nims the offer to save harm-
less all of his friends, if he would act as their guide. The
proposition was joyfully accepted by Nims, with the expecta-
tion of being able to escape and give seasonable warning. But
when the matter came to the ears of the Governor, he forth-
with put a stop to the project, as a dangerous experiment.
Soon after John Sheldon left Canada for home in 1705, four
young men, disappointed at not being allowed to return with
him, made their escape and reached home about June 8th.

16

* * * They had no arms, but probably a small
stock of provisions, and reached our frontier more dead than
alive from hunger and fatigue." Joseph Petty 's own account
of this escape, addressied to Rev. Mr. Williams and preserved
in Memorial Hall, details the incidents and sufferings of their
journey from Montreal to our frontier in May and June, 1705.

John Nims was married in 1707 by Rev. John Williams to
Elizabeth Hull, and they lived on the old homestead. Miss
Baker says: — "In the summer of 1712, the Canadian governor
proposed that the English captives in Canada should be
'brought into or near Deerfield, and that the French prisoners
should be sent home from thence.' Gov. Dudley ordered Col.
Partridge to collect the French captives here. When it was
known in Deerlleld that an escort was to be sent with them, there
was no lack of volunteers. 'We pitclit upon Lt. Williams'
says Partridge, 'with the consent of his father, who hath the
Frentch tongue, Jonath Wells, Jno Nims, an absolute pilot,
Eliezer Warner * * * and Thos. Frentch, who also hath the
Frentch tongue, but think of the former (Nims) most apt
for the design.' The party under command of Lieut. Samuel
Williams, a youth of twenty-three, started on the 10th of July,
returning in September with nine English captives. Godfrey
Nims had died some years before. Ebenezer was still in cap-
tivity, and John Nims evidently went as the head of the family,
hoping to effect the release of his brother and sister. I judge
that in urging Abigail's return, John made the most of the
provision for her in his father's will, as the story goes in
Canada that the relatives of the young Elizabeth, who were
Protestants, and were amply provided with this world's goods,
knowing that she had been carried to the Sault au Recollect,
went there and ottered a considerable sum for her ransom, and
the savages would willingly have given her up if she herself
had shown any desire to go with her relatives. To her
brother's entreaties that she would return with him, she re-
plied that she would rather be a poor captive among Catholics
than to become the rich heiress of a Protestant family, and
John came back without his sister and brother."

John Nims, and his wife Elizabeth, were blessed with a
dozen children and more than five dozen grandchildren. She
died September 21st, 1754, aged 66 years; and he died Decem-
ber 29th, 1762, aged 83; and their son John died October 6th,
1769, aged 54 ; as we may read on the mossy stones down in the
old graveyard.

Of their other sons, Thomas settled in Greenfield, as before
mentioned; Jeremiah lived in his father's house and was fol-
lowed by his son Seth, deacon and revolutionary soldier, who
kept the post office here from 1820 to 1831 in the old house,
and was in turn followed by his son Edwin, town clerk from
1832 to 1834 and the father of Mrs. Eunice Kimberly Nims
Brown, who sold the place in 1894 (after it had been in the
family for more than two centuries) to Mrs. Silvanus Miller,
whose daughters are now its hospitable owners. Mrs. Brown's
maternal grandparents were also descended respectively from
John Nims, junior, and the fourth brother, Daniel, who re-
moved to Shelburne.

THANKFUL NIMS MUNN.
Thankful Nims, at the age of nineteen, married Benjamin
Munn, aged twenty; and bore him eleven children, most of
whom were given the names of Godfrey's children. As has
been stated, the young couple's humble and snow-covered home
preserved them from death or capture in 1704, when all at
the Nims home, except her father, were taken. Abigail, named
for her captive aunt, married Joseph Richardson of Keene; and
three younger daughters married Northampton, Springfield and
Medway men.

EBENEZER NIMS.

Ebenezer Nims, captured in 1704, was then seventeen years
old and made the march to Canada, was adopted by a squaw
and lived at Lorette. Of his romantic marriage to Sarah Hoyt
(born May 6th, 1686, to David & Sarah Wilson Hoyt) Mr.
Sheldon says: —

"The priests urged her to marry. They pertinaciously in-
sisted upon it as a duty, and had a French officer selected as
her mate, thus assuring themselves of a permanent resident,
and popish convert. Professing to be convinced of her duty in
the matter, Sarah declared one day in public that she would
be married, if any of her fellow-captives would have her.
Ebenezer Nims, a life-long companion, at once stepped forward
and claimed her for his bride. The twain were made one upon
the spot. The wily priests had met their match, for it is easy
to believe that this was a prearranged issue on the part of the
lovers. ' '

They and their first son, Ebenezer, came home with Stod-
dard and Williams in 1714; and it is said that so much at-
tached to them were the Indians of Lorette that they came to
Quebec in a body to rescue this family, having heard it had
been by force taken on board the ship. Ebenezer, junior, is
supposed to have removed to Keene about 1739. There were
four other sons, of whom David removed to Keene about 1740,
and IMoses removed to Connecticut after the Revolution. Elisha
was killed by Indians at Fort Massachusetts in 1746, and Amasa
removed to Greenfield.

It was among the thirty-six or more grand-children of God-
frey that the dispersement of the Nims name began, as his sons
had remained in Deerfield. The census records of the United
States show that in 1790 there were nineteen families named
Nims: — 15 in ]\fassachusetts, and 4 in New Hampshire, — and
126 persons in these 19 families. In N. II. Alpheus' family,
3 males and 3 females, and David's, 6 males and 4 females, all
of Keene; and in Sullivan were Eliakim's of 2 males and 2
females, and Zadock's of 4 males and 3 females.

ABIGAIL NIMS RISING.

Abigail Nims was captured when less than four years old,
and her after-life remained a mystery for more than two
centuries. Then Miss Baker's "Hunt for the Captives" re-
vealed the record of her life in Canada. The child, "living
m the wigwam of a squaw of the Mountain" was baptized in
the Roman Catholic mission on the fifteenth of June, 1704, as
Mary Elizabeth; was married at the age of fifteen to Josiah
Rising, a fellow captive; and lived, and (February 19th, 1748,)
died, among the Christian Indians, leaving eight children. The
eldest son became a priest, the younger the fattoer of ten
children. One daughter was a nun, and another a distin-
guished Lady Superior.

Thus was the seed of Godfrey Nims sown in the new world.
Others may tell of its fruitage. Few of the family became
famous; none notorious. Many beside those here today bless
the name of the former president of this association. Col. Or-
mand F. Nims, or remember "Nims battery" which he com-
manded when the Union called on her sons to protect her: but
in all generations have the rank and file of the Nims name or
blood, brave and gentle men and women, fought the good fight
and whether led by the loud call of trumpet or by the "still,
small voice" of conscience, advanced civilization.

It is right and fitting that we should take granite, torn by
Nature's power from the foundations of the earth and clothed
by her tenderness with lichens, and set it here — on this home-
stead — to commemorate those events and typify those qualtities
which should never be forgotten by any present or future de-
scendant of Godfrey Nims.

SEVENTH REGIMENT.
(THREE YEARS.)

BY WILLLIAM C. HOLBROOK, COLONEL SEVENTH REGIMENT.

THE Seventh Regiment, numbering 943 officers and men, was
mustered into the service of the United States at Rutland, Vt.,
February 12, 1862, under the command of Col. George T. Roberts.
The act under which the regiment was formed authorized the
Governor to "recruit, organize, arm and equip, an additional
regiment" * * * "to serve in the army of the United States."
By a previous act, the Governor had been authorized to recruit,
etc., a regiment to be attached to a New England division then
being raised by Gen. B. F. Butler, under the authority of the
Secretary of War, to operate against the City of New Orleans,
which regiment was "to be armed and equipped at the expense of
the United States." Under this latter act, the Eighth regiment
was formed. It was clearly the intention of the legislature,
by the act under which the Seventh was formed, as it was the
avowed purpose of the State officials, that the Seventh should
not form a part of General Butler's division. It was the
unanimous wish of the officers and men that the regiment might
be sent to the Army of the Potomac, and they were greatly
disappointed and disgusted when they learned that they had been
designated by the War Department, for service under General
Butler.

On the 10th of March, 1862, the Seventh left Rutland for
New York City, where it embarked on two old-fashioned sailing
ships, ill adapted for the transportation of troops, with
sealed orders to proceed to sea. Upon opening the orders, it
was learned that the destination of the regiment was Ship
Island, Miss. The voyage occupied upwards of three weeks, and
was very uncomfortable and trying, owing to the heavy March
gales which prevailed throughout the passage. On the fall of
New Orleans, a portion of the Seventh for a short time,
occupied Fort Pike, one of the important outlying
fortifications of the city, commanding the entrance to Lake
Pontchartrain. The balance of the regiment shortly thereafter
proceeded to Carrolton, an environ of New Orleans; thence, in a
few days, it proceeded to Baton Rouge, where it reported to
Brig.-Gen. Thomas Williams. On the 19th of June, 1862, eight
companies of the Seventh, with three other regiments and a
light battery, comprising altogether about 3,500 men, embarked
on transports to take part in a foolhardy expedition against
Vicksburg, conceived by General Butler. Although supported by
Admiral Farragut's entire squadron of war ships, the expedition
was a failure. After besieging the place for twenty-eight
days, and after the loss, unnecessarily, of many valuable
lives, principally from exposure and sickness, the command
returned to Baton Rouge. Disease and death had so decimated
the ranks of the Seventh, that of the 800 men with which it
started on this ill-starred campaign, it had less than 100 for
duty on its return to Baton Rouge. On the 5th of
August, 1862, the regiment took a conspicuous and highly
meritorious part in the battle which occurred at that place on
that day. In addition to other losses, it had the great
misfortune to lose its beloved and heroic Colonel, George T.
Roberts, who died two days later from wounds received while
gallantly discharging his duties at the most critical stage of
the action. Later, the regiment performed duty in and around
the City of New Orleans. At this time, owing to the hardships
endured on the Vicksburg campaign, the mortality in the
regiment reached its highest percentage. In November
following, the regiment was ordered to Pensacola, Florida.
Here the record of its first year's service closed with the sad
loss of over 300 by death, and upwards of 100 discharged for
disability, most of whom left the service with constitutions
permanently shattered.

The regiment remained in Florida until August 10, 1864,
when, in consequence of the re-enlistment of all but 58 of the
remaining members thereof, it became entitled to a veteran
furlough in Vermont, of thirty days. While in Florida, the
Seventh rendered important service as artillerists in holding
the important fortifications erected for the protection of
Pensacola Harbor, then the headquarters of Farragut's West Gulf
Squadron, where vast naval stores and appliances had been
accumulated for the use of his fleet, and which afforded a
standing bait for the enemy. Besides this, the regiment
performed heavy outpost and scouting duties, both as mounted
and dismounted infantry. It passed through two seasons of
yellow fever, one of which was of a very malignant type.
Several severe combats were had with the enemy, in all
of which the members of the Seventh acquitted themselves with
marked credit, as was attested in general orders by the General
commanding the District.

Upon the expiration of its veteran furlough Vermont, the
regiment was ordered back to New Orleans, where it was
stationed until February, 1865, when it was ordered to Mobile
Point, to take part in the siege of Mobile. The Seventh was
attached to the Thirteenth Corps, commanded by Gen. Gordon
Granger. This Corps, with the Sixteenth and Steele's Division,
and a Cavalry force, comprised the army of General Canby in his
attack upon Mobile. Had the war lasted, this army would have
been called upon for very important service, akin to that
performed by General Sherman in his operations in Alabama and
Georgia. The Seventh took a prominent part in the siege of
Spanish Fort, which was the main and strongest outlying
fortification in the approach to Mobile on its eastern side.
The siege lasted 13 continuous days. The regiment held
important and dangerous positions, and was highly commended for
its efficiency and courage. Several of its officers and men
were specially mentioned for gallantry, performing, as they
did, some of the red letter achievements of the siege. The
regiment participated in all the subsequent operations and
skirmishes of the campaign in and around Mobile, and received,
among other notices, very favorable mention for its part in an
affair at Whistler, which resulted, after a sharp fight, in
saving from destruction the repair and machine shops of the
Mobile and Ohio railway at that point. On the surrender of
Gen. Richard Taylor's army, the Seventh was ordered to
Clarksville, and subsequently to Brownsville, Texas, where it
composed a part of the "Army of Observation," on the Rio
Grande, maintained by our Government, under Gen. Philip H.
Sheridan, to observe and wait the development of the operations
of Maximilian and his French allies, then in Mexico.

On the 14th of March, 1866, the regiment was mustered out
of the service of the United States at Brownsville, Texas, but
proceeded in a body to Brattleboro, Vt., where it was formally
disbanded April 6, 1866.

The Seventh, although serving in the main alone, or with
detached organizations, or in detached parts, was at different
times connected with the Thirteenth and Nineteenth Army Corps.
The regiment served longer, lost more men from disease, and
more of its members re-enlisted "for the war" than was the case
with any other single Vermont organization.

The following is a list of the sieges and battles in which
the regiment, as a body, was mentioned by General Sheridan in
general orders, as having borne a "meritorious part," and
which were ordered inscribed upon its colors: Siege of
Vicksburg, Miss.; Baton Rouge, La.; Gonzales Station, Fla.;
Siege of Spanish Fort, Ala., and Whistler, Ala.

The following is a list of the skirmishes and combats, not
inscribed upon its colors, in which detached portions of the
regiment bore honorable part, and, in most of which, members
thereof were killed or wounded: Pearlington, Miss., June 28,
1862; Grand Gulf, Miss., July 7, 1862; Attack on Mortar Boats,
Vicksburg, Miss., July 8, 1862; Attack on Transport Cars,

BATON ROUGE, LA
AUG. 5TH, 1862

Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 5, 1862. Detached Forces under
Brig.-Gen. Thomas Williams. In pursuance of a plan of the
Confederate leaders at Vicksburg, Maj.-Gen. John C.
Breckenridge, with a force variously estimated at from 3,000
to 6,000 men, moved on Baton Rouge, while the newly built ram
Arkansas was to go down the river and engage the Federal
gunboats at the same time the fight was going on between the
land forces. Williams learned of the movement and disposed
his troops to meet it. The 4th Wis. was on the extreme left,
on the right bank of Bayou Gross on the opposite bank of which
were 2 pieces of Manning's battery so placed as to sweep the
ground on the left of the Badger regiment. To the right of
the 4th Wis. was the 9th Conn., with 2 guns in the rear of the
center and 2 more in rear of the right. Then came the 14th
Me., posted behind the Bayou Sara road and to the left of the
Greenwell Springs road; then the 21st Ind. in the woods behind
Magnolia cemetery with 4 pieces of Everett's battery on the
Greenwell Springs road, then the 6th Mich. across the road to
the right of Magnolia cemetery and the Clay Cut road, on the
former of which were 2 pieces of Everett's battery the 7th Vt.
was posted in rear of the 21st Ind. and 6th Mich. on the right
of the Catholic cemetery, and the 30th Mass., supporting Nim's
battery on the extreme right. The fight began at daylight.
Breckenridge formed line of battle on the open ground near the
Greenwell Springs road and attempted to draw Williams out.
Failing in this the Confederates advanced on the ground
between the Clinton and Clay Cut roads, thus throwing the
brunt of the attack against the 14th Me., the 21st Ind. and
the 6th Mich. Williams ordered the 9th Conn. and the 4th Wis.
with a section of artillery to support the left of the center
and the 30th Mass. with a portion of Nim's battery to aid the
right of the center, but the effort was unavailing. The
Federals put up a desperate resistance but were slowly forced
back and the Confederates captured the camps of the advanced
regiments. Williams was killed just as the regiments
commenced to fall back, and for a little time there was some
confusion in the Union ranks. When the Confederates had
forced the garrison back beyond Magnolia cemetery they were
within range of the Federal gunboats in the river and the
galling fire of the infantry, which was soon rallied, and the
gunboats compelled Breckinridge to fall back. When he had
destroyed the Federal encampment and had ascertained that the
ram Arkansas was hard aground with her machinery disabled he
hastily withdrew, leaving his dead and wounded on the field.
The Union loss in this affair was 84 killed, 266 wounded and
32 captured or missing, Confederate reports make their losses
44 killed, 152 wounded and 6 missing, but a despatch from
Lieut. G. Weitzel, chief engineer of the Department of the
Gulf, states that by the 8th the garrison at Baton Rouge had
buried 250 of the enemy's dead.

FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
(NINE MONTHS.)

BY REV. WILLIAM S. SMART, D. D., CHAPLAIN FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.

THE fourteenth regiment was raised under President
Lincoln's call of August 4, 1862, for three hundred thousand
militia to serve for nine months. It consisted of companies
recruited in Addison, Rutland and Bennington counties, and
contained men from every town, except Brandon, which had
furnished a company (G) under Capt. (Gov.) E. J. Ormsbee, to
the Twelfth regiment. The headquarters of the various
companies were as follows: A, Bennington; B, Wallingford; C,
Manchester; D, Shoreham; E, Middlebury; F, Castleton; G,
Bristol; H, Rutland; I, Vergennes; K, Danby.

The regiment went into camp at Brattleboro, October 6,
1862, and was mustered into the United States service, October
21, and left next day for Washington, D. C., nine hundred
fifty-two strong. They were as fine a body of men as could be
found in the State, representing every walk in life. Every one
was a volunteer, and not one deserter is found on their roster.
A draft had been ordered by Governor Holbrook for September 11
in case the quotas of the towns were not raised by that time,
but no draft was needed. During the recruiting of the
regiment, an incident occurred in Benson, which, while local,
well illustrates the patriotic spirit which pervaded Vermont.
By a mistake in the office of the Adjutant General, the quota
of this town was five in excess of the real number. It was
discovered too late to be remedied, and the intelligence
reached the town on the evening of the 10th, that the selectmen
must proceed with the draft if the quota was not full by the
morning of the 11th. Messengers were dispatched, and the
people of the town summoned to consider the emergency. By ten
o'clock nearly every male inhabitant was present. The first
thing to do was to raise $1,000 to pay the usual bounty. As
this was not a legal meeting, it was promptly raised by
subscription, and the five men needed stepped into the breach,
and the dreaded stigma of a draft was averted.

The officers of the regiment were a fine and able body of
men. Few changes were found necessary during their term of
service, yet they could have been duplicated, twice over, from
the ranks. Of those now living it is not needful to speak.
Many of them are well known in the State, but of the dead the
spirit of comradeship compels a word.

Col. William T. Nichols of Rutland, was a brave and
efficient commander. His first service was as a volunteer in
the Rutland company of the First regiment. On his return he
was elected as representative in the Legislature, and again in
1862, but dropping all civil duties and legal practice, he
devoted himself to the service of his country. He is
remembered by his officers and men with affection and esteem,
as a good soldier and a gentleman. He died in April, 1882.

Charles Field of Dorset, was a Quartermaster, whose energy
and care for the wants of the regiment were as unfailing as his
native courtesy and gentle manners. Of this he gave signal
proof, when, on the morning of July 2, he appeared on Cemetery
Hill, with four wagon loads of coffee and hard tack. In doing
this he took the risk of disobeying orders to go to the rear,
with his train, and narrowly escaped capture, but his coming
was welcomed by hungry men, and he saved the brigade from
having to fight on empty stomachs.

Captain Munson of Manchester, company C, was a brave and
capable officer in whose hands the colors never wavered on the
line.

Capt. (Judge) Walter C. Dunton, company H, was as cool,
careful and devoted to duty on the field, as he was afterwards
distinguished for his ability and probity on the bench. He has
gone over to the majority, mourned as a true patriot and good
citizen.

The Fourteenth was attached to the defenses of Washington
and did picket duty, first at Alexandria, after the 11th of
December near Fairfax Court House, where it assisted in the
repulse of Stuart's cavalry raid, and from March to June, 1863,
at Wolf Run Shoals on the Occoquan river. This was the outer
picket line of Washington. This duty was interspersed with the
digging of rifle pits and the building of corduroy roads. The
duty, while not particularly dangerous, was arduous and
involved much exposure and hardship in winter weather. The
health of the regiment, however, was good and the record
remarkable. The entire loss by disease was only thirty-nine
men, far less than the other regiments of the brigade. Some of
this redounds to the credit of our excellent Surgeon, Dr. A. T.
Woodward, and his assistant, Dr. L. D. Ross. Something is also
to be attributed to the pluck and good spirit of the men, as is
illustrated in the medical record of company A. It was called
the "noisy company." There was always some sport on hand among
the boys of company A. They did not lose a man by sickness,
and Captain Gore had the satisfaction of bringing back to
Brattleboro every man he took out. Not a man was hit during
the battle, although they were in no better position,
apparently, than the rest of the line. The company must have
been out of the range of the terrible artillery fire from which
the regiment sustained its heavy loss at Gettysburg.

On the 20th of April, Gen. George J. Stannard, was
assigned to the command of the brigade and on June 25th, the
brigade, having been attached to the Third Division of the
First Corps, began the march to the North, which ended at
Gettysburg. June 30 it had reached Emmettsburg, Maryland,
having marched one hundred twenty miles in six days, gaining a
day on the First Corps, which had proceeded in advance of the
entire army.

The next day's march was made with quickened pace, for the
sound of guns to the north told that a battle was going on and
we were needed. The regiment reached the field too late to
participate in the fighting of the first day, and bivouacked in
a wheat field to the left of Cemetery Hill. At daylight of
July 2 the brigade joined the First Corps, which was reduced by
the casualties of the first day to two thousand four hundred
men. This march was severe and told heavily on our ranks. The
seven hundred twenty-two men who left Wolf Run Shoals, June 25,
were reduced to five hundred. Two hundred and twenty-two had
been compelled to fall out, unable to bear the killing pace.

Late in the afternoon of the 2nd, the brigade was called
into action on the left center, to repel the attack of Gen. A.
P. Hill. A battery had already been captured and was re-taken
by the Thirteenth Vermont. Another was in peril and was saved
as the Fourteenth double-quicked to its rescue. The regiment
remained in this position during the rest of the engagement.
In the opening cannonade of the third day the Fourteenth had
several non-commissioned officers and men killed by the
explosion of a battery caisson, near which they were lying.
Colonel Nichols obtained permission to move his regiment
forward about ten rods from the main line, where they lay
during the terrific cannonade of the third day. When the gray
line of Pickett's massive charge, seventeen thousand strong,
moved down upon the position of the Fourteenth, they lay
concealed on the ground, until the line was within sixty yards.
The men rose at command and gave a staggering and unexpected
volley in the face of the charging column. The direction of
the advancing charge was changed, and swung off to the north,
until their right flank was beyond the right of the Fourteenth.
It was at this time that General Stannard's quick eye saw his
chance for a flank movement, and delivered it with such fatal
effect upon Pickett. The Fourteenth moved a short distance by
the flank to the north, and obliquely from the main line. The
Thirteenth, followed by the Sixteenth, changed front on the
first company and moved out at right angles from the line and
charged forward. The Fourteenth kept up a rapid fire at close
range and closed up the pen in which Pickett's right wing was
caught and crushed.

After the main charge was repulsed, General Wilcox's
Brigade was seen coming down in front of the position of the
Fourteenth. The Sixteenth was coming back to get into line to
receive the charge, but Colonel Veazey saw an opportunity to
strike them on the front, which he did in splendid style. Four
companies of the Fourteenth, A, F, D and I, under Lieutenant-
Colonel Rose, formed on his left and assisted in capturing most
of the Rebel Brigade. So it fell to the lot of the Fourteenth,
with the other regiments, to uphold the honor of Vermont on
this hotly contested field, and at this critical time in the
battle.

It can with truth be said, that they
"Nothing common did, or mean,
Upon that memorable scene."

General Doubleday, in his official report, says of these
troops, which had never been in action before: "These movements
were executed in open field, under very heavy fire of shell,
grape and musketry, and were performed with the promptness and
decision of battalion drill." The losses sustained by the
Fourteenth in this engagement, were the largest in the brigade.
Nineteen were killed in action; nine died from wounds received
in action; total, twenty-seven. The wounded numbered seventy-
four.

The Fourteenth joined in the pursuit of Lee after the
battle and made some hard marches, one, on the 7th of July, is
recalled of thirty-five miles continuously, ending in rain, mud
and darkness, on the top of the Catoctin Mountain, after
midnight. July 18 the regiment was released and started for
home, and was mustered out at Brattleboro, July 30, 1863.

Vermont does well to preserve the names and deeds of her
soldiers in the Civil War among her most precious archives,
that the spirit of her sons, more immortal than their deeds,
may be preserved to future generations. Such were the young
men of Vermont in 1863. Such may they ever be when their
country needs their service.

The average age of the regiment was a fraction over
twenty-five years. Three hundred thirty two were from sixteen
to twenty-one years of age.

All hail to the Vermont veterans, whose locks are growing
gray, but who in youth's golden prime, held country dearest of
all. May their generations never cease.

GETTYSBURG, PA.
JULY 1ST - 3RD, 1863

Gettysburg, Pa., July 1-3, 1863. Army of the Potomac.
After the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville the
opinion became prevalent through the South that Lee's Army of
Northern Virginia was more than a match for the Federal Army
of the Potomac, and a clamor arose for an aggressive movement.
There were at this time potent reasons why Lee should assume
the offensive. An invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania would
have a tendency to draw troops from Grant at Vicksburg and
Rosecrans in Tennessee to repel the invaders, thus relieving
the pressure on the Confederate forces under Pemberton,
Johnston and Bragg. If the invasion should prove to be
successful European nations might be persuaded to recognize
the Confederacy, loans could be obtained and probably aid
secured to open the Southern ports, then in a state of
blockade. All these reasons and possibilities were carefully
weighed and toward the last of May Lee decided to make the
invasion. Since the battle of Chancellorsville he had been
lying at Fredericksburg, recruiting and reorganizing his army,
which on June 1, numbered, according to Confederate reports,
88,754 men. It was divided into three corps, as follows: The
1st, commanded by Lieut.-Gen. James Longstreet, was composed
of the divisions of McLaws, Pickett and Hood, and the reserve
artillery under Col. J. B. Walton. The 2nd, under the command
of Lieut.-Gen. Richard S. Ewell, included the divisions of
Early, Johnson and Rodes, the reserve artillery being in
charge of Col. J. T. Brown. The 3rd, commanded by Lieut.-Gen.
Ambrose P. Hill consisted of the divisions of Anderson, Heth
and Pender, and the reserve artillery under Col. R. L. Walker.
In addition to these three corps was the cavalry under the
command of Maj.- Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, and consisting of the
brigades of Fitzhugh Lee, W. H. F. Lee, Hampton, Jenkins, W.
E. Jones and Imboden, and six batteries of horse artillery
under the command of Maj. R. F. Beckham.

Having decided to undertake an offensive movement, Lee
chose a route along the eastern base of the Blue Ridge, from
which he could at any time threaten Washington or Baltimore,
hoping by this means to detain the Union army in a position to
defend the national capital, or failing in that to draw it
after him and into a general engagement on a field of his own
selection. He accordingly began the concentration of his army
at Culpeper leaving Hill at Fredericksburg to keep up a show
of force there in order to keep Hooker from ascertaining what
was going on until it was too late for him to interfere.
Through the medium of despatches captured in the affair at
Brandy Station on June 9, Hooker learned that the major part
of Lee's army was at Culpeper. He proposed to cross over the
river and attack Hill, but the movement was forbidden by Gen.
Halleck. He then suggested a movement against Richmond to
force Lee to recall his army in that direction, but this, too,
was forbidden, though either might have been successful.
Hooker then sent the 3rd and 5th corps to guard the fords on
the Rappahannock, to prevent the Confederates from crossing,
and on the night of the 13th, moved his forces northward to
Manassas Junction and Thoroughfare gap. This compelled Lee to
change his plans and select the longer route through the
Shenandoah Valley. The Federal force at Winchester, commanded
by Gen. Milroy, was driven out on the 15th, Ewell pursuing
across the Potomac and occupying Hagerstown and Sharpsburg.
About the same time the Union troops at Harper's Ferry and
Martinsburg were withdrawn to Maryland heights, thus leaving
the valley open to Lee, who crossed the Potomac at
Williamsport and Shepherdstown on the 24th and 25th, united
his columns at Hagerstown, and pushed on toward Chambersburg,
Pa. On the 25th and 26th, Hooker crossed the Potomac at
Edwards' ferry and the next day Reynolds, with three corps,
occupied the passes of South mountain, thus forestalling any
attempt of Lee to pass to the eastward. To cut the enemy's
communications with Virginia, Hooker ordered the 12th corps,
then near Harper's Ferry, to march to that place, where it
would be joined by the forces under Gen. Kelley on Maryland
heights, and then, in connection with Reynolds, operate on
Lee's rear. Again Halleck interposed an objection, deeming it
inadvisable to abandon Harper's Ferry, and Hooker asked to be
relieved from command of the army. He was succeeded by Maj.-
Gen. George G. Meade on June 28. The Army of the Potomac was
then organized as follows: Maj.-Gen. John F. Reynolds,
formerly commanding the 1st corps, was placed in command of
the left wing, Maj.-Gen. Abner Doubleday taking command of the
corps, which consisted of three divisions under Brig.-Gens.
James S. Wadsworth, John C. Robinson and Thomas A. Rowley, and
the artillery brigade commanded by Col. Charles S. Wainright.
The 2nd corps, commanded by Maj.-Gen. Winfield S. Hancock,
embraced the three divisions under Brig.-Gens. John C.
Caldwell, John Gibbon and Alexander Hays, and the artillery
brigade of Capt. John G. Hazard. The 3rd corps, Maj.-Gen.
Daniel E. Sickles, was made up of the divisions of Maj.-Gen.
David B. Birney and Brig.-Gen. Andrew A. Humphreys, and the
artillery brigade commanded by Capt. George E. Randolph. The
5th corps, Maj.-Gen. George Sykes, was composed of the three
divisions of Brig.-Gens. James Barnes, Romeyn B. Ayres and
Samuel W. Crawford, and the artillery brigade of Capt. A. P.
Martin. The 6th corps, Maj.-Gen. John Sedgwick, embraced the
divisions of Brig.-Gen. Horatio G. Wright, Brig.-Gen. Albion
P. Howe and Maj.-Gen. John Newton, and the artillery brigade
of Col. Charles H. Tompkins. The 11th corps, Maj.-Gen. Oliver
O. Howard, included the divisions of Brig.-Gens. Francis C.
Barlow and Adolph von Steinwehr, Maj.-Gen. Carl Schurz, and
the artillery brigade commanded by Maj. Thomas W. Osborn. The
12th corps, Maj.-Gen. Henry W. Slocum was composed of the two
divisions of Brig.-Gens. Alpheus S. Williams and John W.
Geary, and the artillery brigade under command of Lieut. E. D.
Muhlenberg. The cavalry corps, Maj.-Gen. Alfred Pleasonton,
included the three divisions commanded by Brig.-Gens. John
Buford, David McM. Gregg and Judson Kilpatrick, and the horse
artillery under Capt. James M. Robertson. Altogether the army
had 65 batteries numbering 370 guns. Of these 212 were with
the infantry, 50 with the cavalry, and an artillery reserve of
108 under the command of Brig-Gen. Robert O. Tyler, Brig.-Gen.
Henry J. Hunt being the chief of artillery. Meade took
command in the midst of a campaign, and when the army was
preparing to move through a region with which he was but
little acquainted. For the time he decided to follow Hooker's
plans, the only departure there from being to recall Slocum's
corps from the Confederate rear, with orders to join the main
column. Without consulting Halleck he ordered the troops at
Maryland heights, now under the command of Gen. French, to
move up to Frederick, where they were to act as a reserve when
the army moved forward. Such information as he could obtain
regarding the enemy's movements located Longstreet at
Chambersburg, Ewell at Carlisle and York, where he was
preparing to attack Harrisburg, and Hill in the vicinity of
Cashtown. Conjecturing that Harrisburg was Lee's objective
point, Meade determined to move directly toward that place and
if possible strike the enemy before he could cross the
Susquehanna. Orders to that effect were issued to the various
corps commanders on the evening of the 28th and early the next
morning the army was in motion.

Stuart's cavalry had been sent on a raid around the Union
army, in the hope that by threatening its rear he could delay
the crossing of the Potomac until Lee could capture
Harrisburg. But he encountered Federal troops in so many
unexpected places that his raid was prolonged to such an
extent he did not arrive at Gettysburg until the battle was
almost over. Being thus deprived of his cavalry, Lee had no
way of obtaining information of the movements of the Federals,
and up to the 28th, supposed them to be still on the south side
of the Potomac. On the afternoon of that day he ordered Hill
and Longstreet to join Ewell for an advance on Harrisburg.
Late that night a scout came to Lee's headquarters with the
information that Hooker had been superseded by Meade, that the
Union army was north of the Potomac and in a position to
seriously menace the Confederate line of communications.
These tidings changed the whole situation. In his report Lee
says: "In the absence of the cavalry, it was impossible to
ascertain his intentions, but to deter him from advancing
farther west, and intercepting our communication with
Virginia, it was determined to concentrate the army east of
the mountains." Instructions were hurried to Hill and
Longstreet to move to Cashtown, 8 miles northwest of
Gettysburg, Ewell was recalled from Carlisle, and Pickett was
left at Chambersburg to guard the rear until relieved by
Imboden. Owing to rainy weather these movements were
performed somewhat leisurely, but Heth's division reached
Cashtown on the afternoon of the 29th. That evening the Union
army was in position just south of the state line, with the
right at New Windsor and the left at Emmitsburg. Buford's
cavalry division was on the extreme left, with his advance
well toward Gettysburg. Buford sent Merritt's brigade to
Mechanicstown to guard the trains and issued orders for
Gamble's and Devin's brigades to move early on the following
morning to Gettysburg, where he expected to find some of
Kilpatrick's cavalry. The two brigades entered the town about
noon, and found a detachment of the enemy within half a mile
of the place. This was Pettigrew's brigade of Heth's
division, which had been sent from Cashtown to procure
supplies, but finding the town in possession of the Union
forces hurriedly fell back on the main body of the division.
Scouting parties were sent out in all directions, bringing in
information showing that the Confederates were unquestionably
aiming to concentrate in the vicinity of Gettysburg, and
Buford so notified Meade that evening. Pickets were thrown
out toward Cashtown and Hunterstown, and the ridges west of
the town occupied in anticipation of an attack the next day.

Meade's chief objects had been to force Lee to forego his
intention of crossing the Susquehanna, and to bring on an
engagement at the first opportunity. The field selected for
such an engagement was along the banks of Pipe creek, a little
stream 15 miles south of Gettysburg. With a view to meeting
Lee at this point the different commands were so placed as to
be easily concentrated along Pipe creek, while at the same
time they were held in readiness to move elsewhere as the
occasion might demand. On the evening of June 30, the 1st
corps was at Marsh creek, about halfway between Emmitsburg and
Gettysburg; the 2nd and 3rd were in the vicinity of Taneytown,
the 5th was at Union Mills, southeast of Taneytown, the 6th
was at Manchester, still farther east; the 11th was near
Emmitsburg, Kilpatrick's cavalry was at Hanover, and Gregg's
at Westminster. The information received from Buford caused a
change in Meade's plans. Reynolds was ordered to move the
1st, 3rd and 11th corps to the support of Buford, Sickles
relieving the last at Emmitsburg, and the other corps
commanders instructed to move toward Gettysburg.

The town of Gettysburg is located about 7 miles from the
Maryland line, and some 10 miles east of South mountain. It
is in a valley, surrounded by broken granite ridges. On one
of these, about half a mile west of the town, stood the
Lutheran seminary, the elevation being known as Seminary
ridge. It was covered with an open woods and at the north end
is a knoll called Oak hill. South is a chain of hills
beginning about 3 miles from town and running almost due north
for a distance of 2 miles when it makes a curve to the east.
At the south end of this chain is Round Top, just east of this
is a smaller hill called Little Round Top; at the curve is
Cemetery hill, while at the eastern extremity of the range is
Culp's hill. About 500 yards west of Little Round Top, in the
forks of Plum creek is a hill known as the Devil's Den. It is
steep and rocky on the eastern side sloping away gradually to
the west and is about 100 lower than Little Round Top. The
summits of nearly all the ridges were covered with huge
boulders, forming a natural protection to sharpshooters, etc.
Near the western base of Cemetery hill was Ziegler's grove,
and along the base of the ridge farther south were the Weikert
and Trostle houses. Roads enter the town from almost every
direction. Through the valley between the Round Tops and
Seminary ridge ran the Emmitsburg road; along the eastern side
of the ridge was the road to Taneytown, running southeast,
between Cemetery and Culp's hills, was the Baltimore pike.
These three roads came together near the cemetery and entered
the town from the south. The Fairfield and Chambersburg roads
diverged at the west side of town, the former running
southwest and the latter northwest over Seminary ridge. From
the north came the Harrisburg, Carlisle and Middletown roads,
and Black's turnpike, while the Oxford and Bonaughton roads
entered the town from the east. On the east side of town is
Rock creek and west of Seminary ridge is Willoughby run, both
flowing southward.

At daybreak on July 1, Buford held the roads and ridges
to the west of Gettysburg with Devin's and Gamble's brigades,
his vedettes being thrown out far enough to give timely
warning of the enemy's approach. About 8 a.m. the scouts
reported the enemy advancing in force from the direction of
Cashtown. This was Heth's entire division, which had been
sent forward to occupy Gettysburg. Gamble's brigade was
formed on the left from the Fairfield road to the railroad
cut, with one section of Calef's battery near the left and the
rest of it on the Chambersburg pike. Devin formed on the
right, extending the line to Oak hill, a portion of the men
being dismounted and thrown forward as skirmishers. Heth
advanced on the Chambersburg road, with Archer's brigade to
the right and Davis, to the left of the pike, and the brigades
of Pettigrew and Brockenbrough in support. About 9 o'clock
Buford had three cannon shots fired as a signal for his
skirmishers to open fire on the advancing Confederates, and
the battle of Gettysburg was begun. Buford had been notified
that Reynolds was coming to his support and determined to hold
his ground until the reinforcements arrived. When the sound
of the firing reached Reynolds his advance, Wadsworth's
division, was within a mile of the town. This command was
hurried forward across the fields, Reynolds riding ahead to
Seminary ridge, where he met Buford and learned the positions
of the contending forces. As soon as Wadsworth arrived three
regiments of Cutler's brigade were formed north of the
railroad cut and the other two south of the pike, Hall's
battery relieving Calef's, which had almost exhausted its
supply of ammunition. Meredith's "Iron Brigade" was sent
against Archer on the left, and Devin's brigade of cavalry was
faced north to meet Ewell, who was known to be coming up from
Heidlersburg. Cutler's line had barely been formed when it
was struck on the front and right by Davis. Col. Fowler who
was in command of the two regiments south of the road, changed
front, drove Davis from the field, and took possession of the
railroad cut, capturing the two regiments which occupied it.
Reynolds sent word to Howard to hurry forward the 11th corps,
and then rode over to where Meredith and Archer were
contending for a piece of timber, known as McPherson's woods,
on the east side of Willoughby run. While directing the
movements of this brigade Reynolds was killed by a shot from a
Confederate sharpshooter, and Meredith was wounded by the
explosion of a shell in front of his horse. Col. Morrow, of
the 24th Mich., then took command, charged into the woods,
captured Archer and about 800 of his men, and forced the rest
to retire across the creek. By this time all of the 1st corps
was on the field. Stone's brigade of Rowley's division was
sent to the left of the pike, where it drove out the enemy's
skirmishers and took position behind a ridge, being partly
sheltered by a stone fence. Biddle's brigade was posted on
the left of McPherson's wood, with Cooper's battery on the
right, while Robinson's division was stationed in reserve on
Seminary ridge. Reynolds' battery relieved Hall's and Calef's
again joined Gamble's cavalry, which was also in reserve.

The enemy had also received heavy reinforcements,
Pender's division coming up from Cashtown and Ewell's corps
from Carlisle. Heth reformed his division south of the
Chambersburg road, with Pender in support, and nine batteries
stationed on commanding points west of Willoughby run. Lee
had notified Ewell not to bring on a general engagement until
the entire army was brought up, but on arriving on the field
and finding Hill's corps already engaged he ordered Rodes'
division to take position on Seminary ridge and Carter's
battalion of artillery to occupy Oak hill. It was now nearly
2 p.m., when the batteries on Oak hill opened upon the Union
lines an enfilading fire that forced Wadsworth to retire
Cutler to Seminary ridge, where he was joined by Robinson's
whole division to resist the advance of Rodes, who was
following along the ridge with O'Neal's and Doles' brigades on
the eastern slope and Iverson's, Daniel's and Ramseur's on the
western. At 2:30 Rodes gave the order to attack. Iverson was
confronted by Paul's brigade and O'Neal by Baxter's. O'Neal
was soon repulsed and Baxter went to the assistance of Paul.
At the same time Cutler swung his line around so as to attack
Iverson on the right flank. Baxter's men from the shelter of
a stone fence fired a volley at short range into the
Confederate ranks, leaving 500 of Iverson's command dead and
wounded on the field, and the rest surrendered. About 1,000
prisoners and 3 regimental colors were taken in this part of
the engagement. Howard had arrived with the 11th corps about
noon and assumed command. Shurz took command of the corps and
Brig.-Gen. Alexander Schimmelfennig of the 3rd division. This
division and Barlow's were thrown forward on the right to
check Ewell's advance, leaving Steinwehr's, with two
batteries, as a reserve and rallying point on Cemetery hill.

Upon hearing of the death of Reynolds Meade ordered
Hancock to proceed from Taneytown to Gettysburg and assume
command of the left wing. Hancock arrived about 3 p.m. and
found the Union troops retiring before the vastly superior
numbers of the enemy. Early's division had secured a position
on the flank and rear of the 11th corps, the artillery on the
hills east of Rock creek enfilading its entire line. Up to
this time the assaults of the enemy had been made without
concert at various points along the line, giving the Federals
an opportunity to repulse one before the next was commenced.
But about 4 o'clock the whole Confederate line advanced-50,000
against probably 15,000. The odds were too great and orders
were issued to fall back to Cemetery hill. The men retired in
good order, fighting as they went, the only confusion being
that which resulted by crowding the narrow streets of the
town. Wadsworth's division was sent to occupy Culp's hill and
skirmishers were thrown forward to the west side of the town
to hold the Confederates in check until the new line of battle
could be formed. About 5 o'clock Williams' division of the
12th corps came up and was stationed on the right and rear of
Wadsworth. Geary's division arrived soon afterward and was
sent to occupy Little Round Top and the ridge running toward
Cemetery hill, in a position commandmg the Emmitsburg and
Taneytown roads. Stannard's brigade of Rowley's division also
came up and joined the command, but too late to participate in
the fight. These reinforcements greatly encouraged those who
had borne the brunt of the battle all day, and the trains were
sent to the rear out of the way to prepare for the action
which was to come on the morrow. As the day drew to a close
and it became evident that the enemy did not intend to renew
the attack, Hancock turned over the command to Slocum and set
out for Meade's headquarters at Taneytown. Orders were given
for all the different commands to march at once to Gettysburg,
Meade set out for the scene of action, and about 1 a.m. on the
2nd reached the field.

Notwithstanding Lee's order on the evening of the 1st to
"attack the enemy in the morning as early as practicable," the
greater part of the day was spent in maneuvering for position.
Longstreet did not want to attack until the arrival of
Pickett's division. As a matter of fact Pickett did not come
up in time to take any part in the second days, battle, and
Law's brigade of Hood's division did not arrive on the field
until noon on the 2nd. Considerable delay was incurred in
moving the artillery so as to keep out of sight of the Union
signal station on Little Round Top, so that it was the middle
of the afternoon before the Confederates were in position to
begin the general assault on Meade's flanks according to Lee's
plans. This delay cost them dear in the end, as Meade's
different commands were hurrying to the front and when the
attack did come there was an opposition too strong to be
overcome. As soon as possible after his arrival Meade looked
over the ground and at dawn he commenced the formation of his
lines for an attack on the Confederate left. The 12th corps
was sent to the right of Wadsworth on Culp's hill, but Slocum
and Gen. G. K. Warren, who had served as chief engineer under
Hooker, and now held that position on Meade's staff, advised
against such a movement. Meade, however, was determined to
fight aggressively and began to arrange his troops for an
assault on the enemy's left. Some time was necessarily spent
in the preparations and before they were completed Lee
attacked both ends of the Union line, thus forcing Meade to
assume the defensive, which finally proved to be to his
advantage. The Union line was formed as follows: Slocum on
the extreme right; Wadsworth's division on Cemetery hill, with
the other two divisions of the 1st corps at the base;
Hancock's corps, which had come up during the night, next on
the left; then Sickles; Sykes on the extreme left, while
Sedgwick, who had made a march of 35 miles, arriving just
before the attack commenced, was stationed in reserve on the
Taneytown road behind the Round Tops, where he could rest his
men until called on to strengthen some part of the line.

The Confederate line was in the form of a concave.
Longstreet on the left was opposite the Round Tops; Hill in
the center occupied Seminary ridge; Ewell on the right held
the town and the ridges east of Rock creek. Along the north
side of Little Round Top ran a road which crossed the
Emmitsburg road almost at right angles near the center of the
open country lying between the two lines. On the south side
of this road and east of the Emmitsburg road was a large peach
orchard, to the east of which was a wheatfield. Sickles moved
his corps to the cross roads, forming Humphrey's division
along the Emmitsburg road and Birney's in the peach orchard
and on a ridge south of the cross-road, Ward's brigade being
thrown forward to the Devil's Den. As this position was some
distance in advance of the main line, and subsequently proved
to be untenable, there has been some controversy as to whether
Sickles occupied it by order of the commanding general or
selected it himself. It is not the province of this work,
however, to settle responsibilities, but to tell what
happened. Birney's skirmishers were engaged almost from the
time his line was formed until the main attack of the
Confederates about 4 p.m. When that attack was opened
Longstreet directed a severe artillery fire against the two
sides of the angle formed by Sickles' line, and this was
followed by a fierce assault on Ward, who was overlapped by
the enemy's line and compelled retire. The attack was then
extended toward the peach orchard and some of the enemy's
batteries secured positions from which an enfilading fire was
poured into the two lines forming the angle. Humphreys sent a
brigade and later a regiment to the assistance of Birney, but
soon afterward his own line was vigorously assailed by
Barksdale's brigade on the north and Kershaw's on the west,
making it impossible to render any further aid to Birney, who
was now hard pressed. Graham's brigade was driven from the
orchard, Sickles had lost a leg and Graham was wounded and a
prisoner in the hands of the enemy. The Federal batteries,
commanded by Maj. McGilvery, and which was stationed on the
cross-road below the orchard, met the Confederate advance by
an effective fire, but in vain. One of the batteries was
captured by Kershaw's men, but the 141st Pa. made a gallant
charge and recaptured the guns, bringing them off by hand.
Still the Confederates pressed on, and as a last resort
McGilvery ordered Biglow to sacrifice his battery to save the
rest. With the courage born of desperation he obeyed the
order, fighting until the enemy approached within a few feet,
when he managed to withdraw, but with severe loss. This left
the orchard in the hands of the enemy, which brought them on
Humphreys' flank and Birney's right. Reinforcements were
called for and Hancock sent in Caldwell's division, but it was
compelled to fall back after losing heavily in killed and
wounded, two brigade commanders, Cross and Zook, being among
the killed. Ayres' division next went in, and, although he
struck the enemy on the flank, doubled up their line and
forced them back, he was in the end compelled to make a
hurried retreat to save his command from annihilation.

This fight on the left was a struggle for the possession
of Little Round Top. About the time that Ward was outflanked
Warren rode over to the signal station there to obtain a
better view of what was going on. Seeing the importance of
the position which was then undefended, he assumed the
responsibility of ordering Vincent's brigade of Barnes'
division to occupy the crest, at the same time notifying Meade
of what he had done and asking for a force sufficient to hold
it. As Ward retired the Confederates, made a rush for the
hill, but were met on the top by Vincent's men who repulsed
the first assault with the bayonet. The 140th N. Y.,
belonging to Weed's brigade of Barnes' division, and Hazlett's
battery were then sent to the aid of Vincent. Having failed
in the first attempt to carry the position, the enemy next
made an effort to turn the left, but were met by the 2Oth Me.,
under Col. Chamberlain. At first the Unionists were forced
back by the main strength of superior numbers, but Svkes
hurried a brigade to the relief of Chamberlain, and a brigade
of the Pennsylvania reserves arriving about the same time, the
Confederates were driven from the hill with a loss of 500
captured and 1,000 stands of arms taken, besides a large
number in killed and wounded. After the 3rd corps had been
driven from the peach orchard the enemy began to form in front
of the wheatfield for another assault on Little Round Top.
McCandless' brigade of Crawford's division, led by Crawford
himself, charged and drove them to the farther side of the
wheatfield, where they found shelter behind a stone fence. In
the meantime two brigades-Eustis' and Nevin's-of Sedgwick's
corps had come forward and during the time of Crawford's
charge took a position in front of the ridge. The sight of
these fresh troops had a discouraging effect on the
Confederates and they withdrew from the contest.

Through some miscalculation Ewell did not begin his
attack on the Federal right until after Longstreet's repulse.
The plan of attack here was for Johnson to move against Culp's
hill, and as soon as he was fairly engaged Early and Rodes
were to assault the works on Cemetery hill. When the fight
commenced on the left Ewell opened with his artillery and kept
up the fire for about an hour before making any further
movement against the Union lines. In this time Meade, under
the impression that the demonstration on his right was merely
a feint, withdrew from that portion of his line all of the
12th corps except Greene's brigade, and sent it to the support
of Sykes. About 5 p.m. Johnson crossed Rock creek and
advanced against Greene and Wadsworth. Greene held out until
he was reinforced, when the enemy was driven from his front,
though Johnson occupied the intrenchments that had been
abandoned by the 12th corps, giving him a strong position on
the right flank of the Union army. While this was taking
place Early sent the brigades of Hays and Hoke, the latter
commanded by Col. Avery, up the valley between Culp's and
Cemetery hills to assault the Federal position on the latter.
The advance was somewhat impetuous driving back Von Gilsa's
and Ames' brigades, which were stationed at the foot of the
hill. In the rear of this infantry line were Wiedrich's and
Ricketts' batteries, which were next attacked, the former
being captured and 2 guns of the latter spiked. Farther up
the hill were the batteries of Stevens, Reynolds and Stewart,
the officers of which had orders from Col. Wainright to "fight
the guns to the last." As the enemy advanced in the face of
these guns they were met by a storm of canister Stevens'
battery especially doing effective work. Hancock voluntarily
sent Carroll's brigade to the support of the batteries, which
were also reinforced by the 106th Pa. and a detachment from
Schurz' command. The arrival of these troops carried dismay
into the enemy's lines, which had not been properly supported,
although Gordon's brigade had been assigned to that duty, and
a retreat was ordered. As they fell back they were followed
by a shower of canister from the batteries, which killed and
wounded a large number and threw the line into some confusion.
It is said that the Confederate organization known as the
"Louisiana Tigers," went into this fight with 1,750 men, of
whom only 150 returned unscathed. Rodes was delayed in making
his attack, having to move out of Gettysburg by the flank,
then change front and march some distance. By the time he was
in position to cooperate with Early the latter had met defeat.
The day closed with the Union forces still in possession of
the ridge, though the enemy had gained some advantage on the
right, as Johnson still held the intrenchments of the 12th
corps, which threatened the safety of Meade's army by cutting
off the line of retreat if such a movement became necessary.
This victory, meager as it was, offered Lee sufficient
incentive to continue the contest the next morning. That
night a council of war was held, at which it was unanimously
decided to "stay and fight it out." It is said that Meade was
somewhat displeased at the decision, because he wanted to
retire to the ground previously selected at Pipe creek.
However this may have been he acquiesced in the judgment of
his corps commanders, and preparations were immediately
commenced looking to the coming engagement.

Lee's general plan of battle for the 3rd was similar to
that of the preceding day. Ewell was to open the fight by
pressing the advantage already gained on the extreme right,
and after his attack was well under way the main assault was
to be made on the center. Johnson was reinforced by three
brigades and instructed to begin his attack at daybreak. But
a disagreeable surprise was in store for him. Geary returned
to Culp's hill about midnight and learned that his
intrenchments were in the hands of the enemy. He took a
position with Greene and began making arrangements to recover
his works at the earliest opportunity the next morning.
Batteries were brought up during the remaining hours of
darkness and stationed at all the points bearing on Johnson,
and as soon as it was light enough to distinguish objects the
guns opened fire. Johnson was without artillery, so he
determined to risk all on a charge. The charge was gallantly
made, but it was bravely met by Kane's brigade of Geary's
division, and a severe contest was waged for several hours.
Williams' division, now commanded by Col. Thomas H. Ruger,
came up and gained a position where it could strike Johnson on
the flank, and about the same time Shaler's brigade of
Newton's division joined Kane, when Johnson, finding the
conflict an unequal one, withdrew to Rock creek, leaving Geary
and Ruger in possession of their old line. This part of the
third day's battle was ended long before Lee's troops were in
position to assault Cemetery hill, and again that concert of
action, so essential to Confederate success, was lost.

Pickett's division, which had not yet been engaged, was
selected to lead the charge against the Union center.
Longstreet, in his report, thus describes the arrangement of
troops and plan of the assault: "Orders were given to Maj.-
Gen. Pickett to form his line under the best cover that he
could get from the enemy's batteries, and so that the center
of the assaulting column would arrive at the salient of the
enemy's position, Gen. Pickett's line to be the guide and to
attack the enemy's defenses, and Gen. Pettigrew, in command of
Heth's division, moving on the same line as Gen. Pickett, was
to assault the salient at the same moment. Pickett's division
was arranged, two brigades in the front line, supported by his
third brigade, and Wilcox's brigade was ordered to move in
rear of his right flank, to protect it from any force that the
enemy might attempt to move against it. Heth's division, under
command of Brig.-Gen. Pettigrew was arranged in two lines, and
these supported by part of Maj.-Gen. Pender's division, under
Maj.-Gen. Trimble. All of the batteries of the 1st and 3rd
corps, and some of those of the 2nd, were put into the best
positions for effective fire upon the point of attack and the
hill occupied by the enemy's left. Col. Walton, chief of
artillery of the 1st corps, and Col. Alexander had posted our
batteries and agreed with the artillery officers of the other
corps upon a signal for the batteries to open." At 1 p.m. two
cannon shots were heard in quick succession. This was the
signal for the Confederate batteries to open fire, and
immediately 150 guns commenced their deadly work. The object
was to silence the Union guns, and when this was accomplished
Pickett was to move forward to the grand assault which was to
decide the fate of the battle. Owing to the convex form of
the Federal position only 80 guns could find room on the ridge
to respond to the enemy's fire. That number was already in
position and for two hours was waged an artillery duel seldom
if ever equaled in the annals of wars. The enemy's fire was
very effective, although many of the shells went high and
exploded in the open ground to the rear of the ridge, forcing
the artillery reserve to move to a better protected position
Meade was compelled to change the location of his
headquarters, a number of guns were disabled, though they were
quickly replaced by others brought up from the reserve, about
a dozen caissons were blown up and after each of these
explosions the exultant yells of the Confederates could be
heard along their entire line. During this time Pickett's men
were in the wood on Seminary ridge, waiting for the command to
move forward across the 1,400 yards of open ground in their
endeavor to pierce the Union center. The Union generals knew
that this fierce artillery fire was but the prelude to a
charge and placed their commands in position to receive the
shock. About 3 o'clock Hunt ordered the guns to cease firing,
partly to replenish his supply of ammunition, and partly to
see what the enemy would do. Thinking that the batteries were
silenced Pickett emerged from the woods and began his advance,
his men marching with such even step that for a little while
the whole Union line stood in silent admiration of this
display of heroism on the part of men who were marching to
certain death. But when about half of the open space had been
crossed the Federal batteries again opened with telling
effect. Great gaps were torn in Pickett's line by the shot
and shell, but they were quickly closed up as the line pressed
forward. When the Confederates crossed the Emmitsburg road
canister came into use, and at the same time McGilvery's guns
on Little Round Top opened a destructive, enfilading fire on
the advancing lines. Still on they came. Hancock's
skirmishers near the Emmitsburg road were driven back like
chaff before the wind. The enemy had now come within musket
range and Hays' division poured volley after volley into the
left, causing it to waver so that it fell behind the main
column. Before Pickett's first line reached the stone wall,
behind which the main line of Meade's army was posted,
Stannard found an opportunity to make a flank attack with his
Vermont brigade. Quickly changing front with two of his three
regiments, he brought them perpendicular to the enemy's line
and sent in a volley that forced Kemper's brigade staggering
back on the center. This was closely followed up by Col.
Gates, of the 20th N. Y. militia, throwing Pickett's left into
confusion and causing many to surrender, while others threw
away their arms and took to their heels.

Although the two ends of the line were badly disorganized
by these flank attacks, the center kept bravely on to the
stone wall. Gen. Armistead, whose brigade was in this portion
of the line, was one of the first to gain the wall. Placing
his hat on the point of his sword he waved it above his head
and shouted: "Give,em the cold steel, boys!" His example was
speedily followed and with fixed bayonets the Confederates
came pouring over the wall. One of the batteries was
captured, the enemy's flag floated for a few brief moments
over the Federal works, while the "rebel yell" resounded on
all sides. But their triumph was of short duration. The
place where the Union line was broken was directly in front of
Webb's brigade of Gibbon's division. Webb rallied the 72nd
Pa. and led it against the enemy; part of the 71st Pa. gained
a position behind a stone wall on the right, from which they
poured a murderous fire into Armistead's flank. The remainder
of this regiment and the 68th Pa. found shelter in a clump of
trees and sent a storm of leaden hail into the ranks of the
assailants. Col. Hall, commanding Gibbon's 3rd brigade, made a
dashing charge with two regiments of his own command, the 15th
Mass., the 1st Minn., and the 19th Me. of the 1st brigade,
that drove the enemy from the works and turned defeat into
vitory. Back across the open space, over which they had
marched with heroic determination but a short time before, the
Confederates now fled in the wildest disorder. Of Pickett's
three brigade commanders Armistead and Garnett were killed and
Kemper severely wounded. Nearly three-fourths of his command
were either killed, wounded or captured. As the enemy
retreated, Stannard, who had held his position during the
action, repeated his flank movement and captured a large part
of Wilcox's brigade, which was coming up to Pickett's support.
Lee's grand coup de main had failed.

While the main battle was in progress in the center there
were sharp cavalry engagements on both flanks. On the left
part of Kilpatrick's division made a charge through the woods
near Devil's Den, against the infantry and artillery stationed
there. In this action Kilpatrick lost a number in killed and
wounded, among the former being Gen. Farnsworth. The affair
on the right was of greater magnitude. Four of Stuart's
brigades were ordered to cover Ewell's left, and to make a
demonstration to divert attention from the main attack. Then,
if Pickett's charge proved successful, he was to fall on the
rear of the Federals or harass their retreat. Stuart planted
several batteries on the hills commanding the Baltimore pike
and made other preparations to attack the minute he heard that
Pickett had carried the works on Cemetery hill. Custer's
brigade of Kilpatrick's division became engaged, although he
was under orders to join his command on the left, and
continued the fight until he was relieved by McIntosh's
brigade of Gregg's division. One of Stuart's batteries was
posted near the buildings of the Rummel farm and Mclntosh
undertook to drive it away. He soon encountered a strong body
of skirmishers and sent back for reinforcements. Randol's and
Pennington's batteries were moved to the front and soon
silenced the enemy's batteries, when McIntosh moved up and
occupied the position. W. H. Lee's brigade now came up to the
support of the skirmish line and succeeded in repulsing the
1st N. J., whose ammunition was exhausted. The 7th Mich. was
also driven back and it began to look dark for McIntosh, when
the 5th Mich. made a charge on Lee and soon had him on the
retreat. Just then Hampton's brigade, which had been kept in
reserve by Stuart, came up and again turned the tide in favor
of the Confederates. Although Custer had been relieved he had
not yet left the field. Seeing the Union troops about to be
overpowered he placed himself at the head of the 1st Michigan
and shouting "Come on, you Wolverines!" charged with such
impetuosity that Hampton's line was temporarily thrown into
confusion. Custer's timely action put new courage into those
already engaged, and for a few minutes every saber was busy
officers and privates fighting side by side. Capt. Hart next
brought up a squadron of the 1st N. J. and the Confederates
gave way.

Beaten at every point the Confederates fell back to a
strong position on Seminary ridge, where the army lay all day
on the 4th anxiously expecting and dreading an attack from
Meade, who was content to hold his position on Cemetery ridge.
Some skirmishing occurred during the day and that night Lee's
army, broken and dispirited, began its retreat into Virginia.
The decisive battle of the Civil war had been fought and won
by the Federals and the days of the Confederacy were numbered.

The Union losses at Gettysburg were 3,155 killed, 14,529
wounded and 5,365 missing. The Confederate reports give Lee's
losses as being 2,592 killed, 12,709 wounded and 5,150
missing, but the records of prisoners of war in the office of
the adjutant-general of the United States army bear the names
of 12,277 Confederates who were captured at the battle of
Gettysburg.
